If the vertex of a parabola is $(2, -1)$ and the equation of its directrix is $4x - 3y = 21$,then the length of its latus rectum is

The latus rectum of a parabola whose focal chord $PSQ$ is such that $SP = 3$ and $SQ = 2$ is given by

Let the focal chord $PQ$ of the parabola $y^2=4x$ make an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the positive $x$-axis,where $P$ lies in the first quadrant. If the circle,whose one diameter is $PS$,$S$ being the focus of the parabola,touches the $y$-axis at the point $(0, \alpha)$,then $5 \alpha^2$ is equal to :
