When we view object of height 15 m with a telescop of magnifying power 10. the object appears _____

The focal length of the objective of an astronomical telescope is 1.0 m. If the magnifying power of the telescope is 20, find the focal length of the eyepiece and the length of the telescope for the relaxed eye.

At a given point of time, the heights of trees are in proportion to the lengths of the shadows of the trees. A tree of height 25.6 m casts a shadow of 32 m. if the shadow of another tree at that point of time is 48m, then find the height of that tree.

The horizontal distance between two trees of different heights is 60m.The angle of depression of the top of the first tree when seen from the top of the second tree is 45o .If the height of the second tree is 80m, find the height of the first tree.
