From Lesotho Bank tower an object was observed on the ground at a depression o below the horizon. A gun was fired at an elevation a, but the shot missing the object, stuck the ground at a point whose depression was y. Prove that the correct elevation ở of the gun is given by sin(20 +0)+sin(0) _ sin y (1+cos(20)) sin(2a + 0) + sin(0) sin o (1+cos(2w))"

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P3.7). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is = 35.0. How wide is the river?

Check Your Understanding A cave diver enters a tong underwater tunnel. When her displacement with respect to the entry point is 20 m, she accidentally drops her camera, but she doesn’t notice it missing until she is some 6 m farther into the tunnel. She swims back 10 m but cannot find the camera, so she decides to end the dive. How far from the entry point Is she? Taking the positive direction out of the tunnel, what is her displacement vector relative to the entry point?
Is it possible for to be smaller than unity? `
A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?
