When you look vertically downwards into a swimming pool full of water the bottom of the pool seems closer to you than it really is. The apparent depth at this point can be worked out using the formula:

Apparent depth = Real depth/Refractive index of water

However as you look towards the end of the pool the bottom seems to curve upwards – we are thinking about a pool of constant depth to start with.


If the depth of the pool really does change then the situation becomes more complex and you would need to allow for that when drawing the diagram

The concept used to solve this problem is that given in the kinematic equations of motion. From theory we know that the change in velocities of a body is equivalent to twice the distance traveled by acceleration, in other words:

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_{f,i} = Final and initial velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

For the given case, the displacement is equivalent to the height (x = h) and the acceleration is the same gravitational acceleration (a = g). In turn we do not have initial speed therefore

v_f^2 = 2hg

v_f = \sqrt{2hg}

Our values are given as

h = 70km = 70*10^3m

g = 2m/s^2

Replacing we have that,

v_f = \sqrt{2hg}

v_f = \sqrt{2(70*10^3)(2)}

v_f = 529.15m/s

Therefore the speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15m/s
