Textbook Question
Chapter 24.1, Problem 4bTH
Suppose that this student were walking through the same park during an eclipse of the sun, so that the sun was crescent shaped, rather than round.
What would the student see on the ground in this case? Would it be different than what the student observed on the sunny day? If so, how? If not, why not?

I'm going to install a placard on the school bulletin board. The placard is 2 meters long and the bottom of the placard is 1 meter above the eye level. How many meters away is the position of the placard's lowest to highest angle from the notice board?
You are a detective interviewing someone who says that (while sitting on a porch that you
know to be 600ft away) he saw the masked suspect commit the crime in broad daylight.
"How do you know it was the suspect?" you ask. "I clearly saw the 'MOM' that is tattooed
on his upper arm." "You're sure it was that particular tattoo and not some other tattoo?"
"Yes, I'm sure," The witness replies. The suspect's tattoo has letters that are 6cm tall. Is
the witness credible, or might he be framing the suspect? Justify your response and any
estimates you might make.
University students celebrate their graduation with a trip to the sea. One of them decides to go diving and while he is down in the sea, at a not very deep depth, he sees the sun at an angle of 45° above the horizon. What is the true angle of elevation of the sun above the horizon?
