Chapter 23, Problem 14CQ
A person spear fishing from a boat sees a stationary fish a few meters away in a direction about 30° below the horizontal. To spear the fish, and assuming the spear does not change direction when it enters the water, should the person (a) aim above where he sees the fish. (b) aim below the fish, or (c) aim precisely at the fish?
