Chapter 23, Problem 12P
A dedicated sports car enthusiast polishes the inside and outside surfaces of a hubcap that is a section of a sphere. When he looks into one side of the hubcap, he tees an image of his face 30.0 cm. in back of it. He then turns the hubcap over, keeping it the same distance from his face. He now sees an image of his fate 10.0 cm in back of the hubcap. (a) How far is his face from the hubcap? (b) What is the magnitude of the radius of curvature of the hubcap?
