A person is lying on a diving board 3.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on the bottom of the pool directly below her. To her, the penny appears to be a distance of 7.00 m from her. What is the depth of the water at this point?
Distance that is below water (as seen by diver) =
Apparent depth = 4.0m
So real depth =
So depth of water = 5.32m
