On a calm, bright day, you're scuba diving in a deep lake (n = 1.35), 5.10 m away from your sailboat in the horizontal direction. When you are 3.10 m below the surface, the top of the sailboat mast appears to you to be in a direction 40.0° from vertical. Calculate the height of the mast.

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Question

1. From your point of view, the entire sky appears to be confined to a bright disk directly above you on the surface of the water. Determine the diameter of this circle.

On a calm, bright day, you're scuba diving in a deep lake (n = 1.35), 5.10 m away from your sailboat in the horizontal direction. When you are 3.10 m below the surface, the top of the
sailboat mast appears to you to be in a direction 40.0° from vertical. Calculate the height of the mast.
