31. A shell is fired with a velocity of 600 m/s in a direction inclined at 70° to the horizontal. Calculate (a) the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity, (b) the greatest height above ground attained by the shell and (c) the horizontal distance travelled by the shell before it touches ground. Assume the ground to be level and the air resistance to be negligible.
