Representation of data — practice question

A ball $B$ is launched from point $O$ on horizontal ground at an angle of $40^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. $B$ lands on the ground $1.8\,\text{s}$ after projection. Calculate
(i)[2]

the initial speed of projection of $B$,

(ii)[2]

the maximum height reached by $B$,

(iii)[2]

the distance from $O$ to the point where $B$ lands on the ground.
