P and Q are two bases for a mountain climb. PQ is 600 m and QR is a vertical stretch of a rock ace. The angle of elevation of Q from P is 31^{\circ}, and the angle of elevation of R from P is 41^{\circ}. Use the sine law in \triangle PQR to calculate the height of the vertical climb, QR, to the nearest metre.
