Question
Consider a rock that is thrown off a bridge of height 68 m at an angle \( \theta = 21^\circ \) with respect to the horizontal as shown in the figure below. If the initial speed the rock is thrown is 15 m/s, find the following quantities.

**Figure Description:**  
The diagram shows a side view of a bridge with a rock being thrown off at an angle \( \theta = 21^\circ \) above the horizontal axis. The vertical height from the water below to the point on the bridge where the rock is thrown is 68 meters.

**Questions:**

(a) The time it takes the rock to reach its maximum height.  
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{s} \]

(b) The maximum height reached by the rock.  
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{m} \]

(c) The time at which the rock lands.  
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{s} \]

(d) The place where the rock lands.  
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{m} \]

(e) The velocity of the rock (magnitude and direction) just before it lands.  
\[ \text{magnitude} \, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{m/s} \]  
\[ \text{direction} \, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, ^\circ \]
