Chapter 23 Problem 71

Question

We wish to determine the depth of a swimming pool filled with water by measuring the width \((x=6.50~\mathrm{m})\) and then noting that the far bottom edge of the pool is just visible at an angle of \(13.0^\circ\) above the horizontal as shown in Fig. 23–62. Calculate the depth of the pool.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 23 problem number 71 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: We wish to determine the depth of a swimming pool filled with water by measuring the width \((x=6.50~\mathrm{m})\) and then noting that the far bottom edge of the pool is just visible at an angle of \(13.0^\circ\) above the horizontal as shown in Fig. 23–62. Calculate the depth of the pool.
From the textbook chapter Light: Geometric Optics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
