If a fish is trying to capture insect hovering above the surface of water – how will it jump to catch it? Will it aim above or below what it sees? Explain.

Abeam has a square cross-section, a x a, where a is the linear dimension, and is subject to a pure bending moment, m. m is known with an uncertainty of 10% and a is known with an uncertainty of 5%. the strength of the material is known to an uncertainty of 12%. find the minimum design factor such that the beam is guaranteed not to fail.

With the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 1.90

Explain what happens at the saturation point when adding salt to water at room temperature.
