To move upstream past a waterfall, the salmon does not need to jump to the top of the fall, but only to a point in the fall where the water speed is less than 3.58 m/s; it can then swim up the fall for the remaining distance. Because the salmon must make forward progress in the water, let's assume it can swim to the top if the water speed is 3.00 m/s. (a) If water has a speed of 2.02 m/s as it passes over a ledge, how far below the ledge will the water be moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s?
