Related rates. The tip of a fishing pole is located 10 feet above the water. This iskept constant as a fish is reeled in. The fish is reeled in so that its rate of change in the horizontal direction is 1.5 feet per second. At what rate is the angle (θ) between the fishing line and the water changing when there is a total of 12.5 feet of fishing line out?

Refraction When you stand in shallow water and look at an object below the surface of the water, the object will look farther away from you than it really is. This is because when light rays pass between air and water, the water refracts, or bends, the light rays. The index of refraction for water is 1.333. This is the ratio of the sine of 1 and the sine of 2 (see figure). (a) While standing in water that is 2 feet deep, you look at a rock at angle 1=60 (measured from a line perpendicular to the surface of the water). Find 2. (b) Find the distances x and y. (c) Find the distance d between where the rock is and where it appears to be. (d) What happens to d as you move closer to the rock? Explain.
