Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Hope this helped :)
We need to consider for this exercise the concept Drag Force and Torque. The equation of Drag force is
Where,
F_D = Drag Force
= Drag coefficient
A = Area
= Density
V = Velocity
Our values are given by,
(That is proper of a cone-shape)
Part A ) Replacing our values,
Part B ) To find the torque we apply the equation as follow,
A scientific law is the simple mathematical expression of the relationship involved. A principle is the same relationship expressed in words. A theory is the explanation of the facts that make up the relationship.
