Question
A stone is thrown in such a manner that it would just hit a bird at the top
of a tree and afterwards reach a height double that of the tree. If at the
moment of throwing the stone, the bird flies away horizontally, show that
notwithstanding this, the stone will hit the bird, if is horizontal velocity
be to that of the bird as (√2 + 1) : 2.
