$A$ particle is projected from point $O$ with velocity $u$ at an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. If at point $P$,its velocity is perpendicular to the initial direction of projection,then find the time taken to reach from $O$ to $P$.

  • A
    $\frac{u \sin \alpha}{g}$
  • B
    $\frac{u \csc \alpha}{g}$
  • C
    $\frac{u \tan \alpha}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{u \sec \alpha}{g}$

$A$ particle is thrown with a velocity of $u \, m/s$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. It passes through points $A$ and $B$ at the same vertical height at times $t_1 = 1 \, s$ and $t_2 = 3 \, s$ respectively,as shown in the figure. The value of $u$ is ....... $m/s$ (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$).
