The problem corresponds to the motion of a projectile (the salmon), with initial speed , initial direction
and vertical acceleration
downward. The two equations which gives the horizontal and vertical position of the salmon at time t are
(1)
(2)
We can solve the problem by requiring Sx=3.16 m and Sy=0.379 m, the data of the problem.
Solving eq.(1) for t:
And substituting this expression of t into eq.(2), we get the following expression for :
And substituting the numbers into the equation, we find
