Solve the given question-

Question- An old Biblical story tells of David, a small warrior engaged in man-to-man combat with Goliath, a much larger adversary.

In the story, David uses a sling to increase the speed of a projectile (in this case a rock), striking Goliath in the forehead and killing him. The type of sling often used in such combat consists of a long strip of cloth with a pouch halfway down its length. The rock is positioned in the pouch, with the warrior holding both ends of the sling. By whirling the sling in a horizontal* circle, a warrior can release one end of the sling, therefore allowing the projectile to fly in a straight line at high speed. In this problem, we will assume that the sling, when unfolded, was roughly 5.99 feet in total length. We will also assume the rock weighed a half a pound.

Part a- If David whirled the sling to the point where the sling subtended an angle is 4.43o with the horizontal, with what speed did the rock strike Goliath?

I need experts help to solve above question and assume no air friction and that the drop in height due to gravity is minimal.
