Question

The 80-cm-tall, c=61-cm-wide tank is completely filled with water. The tank has marks every 10 cm along one wall, and the 0 cm mark is barely submerged. As you stand beside the opposite wall, your eye is level with the top of the water. Which is the lowest mark you can see?

Explanation / Answer

refractive index of water = 1.33 sin90/sinr = 1.33 sinr = 1/1.33 = 0.751 r = 48.677deg depth = c*cost48.677 = 61*cot(48.677deg) = 53.633
