Below is the math for calculating the location of the pinger in the water relative to our submarine. Because we know the absolute location of the pinger in the pool, we can calculate the sub's position in the pool. | Below is the math for calculating the location of the pinger in the water relative to our submarine.

- | In other words, $h_x$ is $\Delta x$ meters farther from the pinger than $h_0$, and $h_0$ is $p_0$ meters from the pinger. | + | In other words, $h_x$ is $\Delta x$ meters closer to the pinger than $h_0$, and $h_0$ is $p_0$ meters from the pinger. |
