PROBLEM 2 A SWIMMER IS STANDING AT THE SHORE WITH A CERTAIN DISTANCES AWAY FROM 3 SHIP VESSELS. a.) IF THE SWIMMER 10 KM AWAY FROM THE SHIP A (ELEVATION OF TOP OF SHIP ABOVE SEA LEVEL = 8.4 M) CAN SEE THE TOP OF THE SHIP WITHOUT THE LINE OF SIGHT APPROACHING NEARER THAN HIS EYE HEIGHT ABOVE THE WATER, WHAT IS THE DISTANCE OF THE SWIMMER'S EYES ABOVE THE WATER? b.) IF THE SWIMMER IS 15.5 KM AWAY FROM THE SHIP B CAN BARELY SEE THE TOP OF THE SHIP, HOW HIGH IS THE TOP OF THE SHIP B ABOVE THE WATER? c.) IF THE SWIMMER CAN BARELY SEE THE TOP OF THE SHIP C 8 M HIGH ABOVE THE WATER, WHAT IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SWIMMER AND THE SHIP C.
