A transpar ent rod 40 cm long is cut flat at one end and rounded to a hemispherical surface 12 cm radius at the other end. A small object is embedded within the rod along its axis and half way between its ends. When viewed from the flat end of the rod, the object appears 10 cm deep. What is its apparent depth when viewed from the curved end?

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Understand the setup We have a transparent rod that is 40 cm long, with one end flat and the other end rounded into a hemispherical shape with a radius of 12 cm. A small object is embedded in the rod along its axis, halfway between its ends. ### Step 2: Determine the position of the object Since the rod is 40 cm long, the object is located halfway, which is at: \[ ...
