A bird is flying up at an angle sin^(-1)...

A bird is flying up at an angle `sin^(-1)(3//5)` with the horizontal. A fish in a pond looks at that bird when it is vertically above the fish. The angle at which the bird appears to fly (to the fish) is `[mu_(w) = 4//3]`

A

`sin^(-1)(3//5)`

B

`sin^(-1)(4//5)`

C

`45^(@)`

D

`sin^(-1)(9//16)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c.

Let y-axis be vertically upward and x-axis be horizontal.
`V_(y)(app.)=(V_(y)(real))/(((1)/(mu)))`
`V_(y)(app.)=V_(x)(real.)`
`tanphi=(V_(y)(app))/(V_(x)(app))=(4)/(3)tantheta=(4)/(3)xx(3)/(4)=1`
