The height $y$ and the distance $x$ along the horizontal plane of a projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding atmosphere) are given by $y = 8t - 5t^2 \text{ m}$ and $x = 6t \text{ m}$,where $t$ is in seconds. The velocity with which the projectile is projected is (in $\text{ m/s}$)

$A$ batsman hits a ball with a velocity '$v$',making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. After some time, the direction of velocity makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The speed of the ball at this instant is $[\cos(60^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}, \cos(30^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]$.
