Problem 1.6.10. Imagine a life guard situated a distance dı from the water. He
sees a swimmer in distress a distance L to his left and distance d2 from the shore.
v1 > 02.
what trajectory will get him to the swimmer in the least time? Does he rush towards
the victim in a straight line joining them, does he first run on land until he is in
front of the victim and then swim, does he head for the water first and then swim

This problem has an analog in optics. If light is emitted at a point in a medium
where its velocity is vi and arrives at a point in an adjacent medium where in
velocity is v2, the route it takes is arrived at in the same fashion since light…
1.36 A plane, which is flying horizontally at a constant speed v, and at a height h above the sea,
must drop a bundle of supplies to a castaway on a small raft. (a) Write down Newton's second law
for the bundle as it falls from the plane, assuming you can neglect air resistance. Solve your equations
to give the bundle's position in flight as a function of time t. (b) How far before the raft (measured
horizontally) must the pilot drop the bundle if it is to hit the raft? What is this distance if vo = 50 m/s,
100 m, and g≈ 10 m/s²? (c) Within what interval of time (At) must the pilot drop the bundle if
it is to land within 10 m of the raft?
