Chapter 5, Problem 108TDI

A park ranger shoots a monkey hanging from a branch of a tree with a tranquilizing dart. The ranger aims directly at the monkey, not realizing that the dart will follow a parabolic path and, therefore, will fall below the monkey’s position. The monkey, however, seeing the dart leave the gun, lets go of the branch to avoid being hit. Will the monkey be hit anyway? Defend your answer.
