4 A particle is projected from a point \(O\) on horizontal ground with speed \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal. At the instant 3 s after projection the direction of motion of the particle is \(30 ^ { \circ }\) below the horizontal.
  1. Find \(V\).
