In physics, the monkey and hunter is a hypothetical scenario often used to illustrate the effect of gravity on projectile motion.[1] It can be presented as exercise problem or as a demonstration.
The essentials of the problem are stated in many introductory guides to physics.[2][3] In essence, the problem is as follows:
A hunter with a blowgun goes out in the woods to hunt for monkeys and sees one hanging in a tree. The monkey releases its grip the instant the hunter fires his blowgun. Where should the hunter aim in order to hit the monkey?
