Upon spotting an insect on a twig overhanging water, an archer fish squirts water drops at the insect to knock it into the water.
Although the insect is at distance d from the fish along a straight-line path at angle (as in the figure here), a drop must be launched at
a different angle 8, if its parabolic path is to intersect the insect. If = 38.0' and d-0.900 m, what 80 is required for the drop to be at
the top of the parabolic path when it reaches the insect?
