Answer:
The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km
The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s
Explanation:
The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)
where:
x0 = initial horizontal position
v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity
t = time
α = launching angle
y0 = initial vertical position
g = acceleration of gravity
When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.
Then:
ry = 0 = y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²
Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0
0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)
t= 0 is discarded as solution
v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0
t = -2v0 sin α / g
t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.
Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:
Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α
Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km
By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation
here we know that
now by above formula
so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm
