A coin kept inside water (mu=4//3) when viewed from air in a vertical direction, appears to be raised by 2*0mm. Find the depth of the coin in water.

Answer»

Solution :Given: `mu=(4)/(3)`, shift=`2*0mm`
Let REAL depth be x mm. then
Apparent depth`=(x)/(mu)=(x)/(4//3)=(3)/(4)x`
Shift=real depth-apparent depth
`=x-(3)/(4)x=(1)/(4)x`
Given shift `(1)/(4)x=2*0mm""thereforex=8*0mm`
Thus depth of coin in water=`8*0`mm.
