Answer
Given,
Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.
refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33
refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52
When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.
This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.
(a) 
The relationship beween centripetal acceleration and angular speed is

where
is the angular speed
r is the radius of the circular path
Here we gave
is the centripetal acceleration
r = 5.15 m is the radius
Solving for
, we find:

(b) 21.3 m/s
The relationship between the linear speed and the angular speed is

where
v is the linear speed
is the angular speed
r is the radius of the circular path
In this problem we have

r = 5.15 m
Solving the equation for v, we find

The distance from the base of the building the rock will land is 26.4 m
<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
- Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
- Height (h) = 8.50 m
- Distance (s) =?
<h3>Determination of the time to reach the ground </h3>
- Height (h) = 8.50 m
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
8.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
8.5 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 8.5 / 4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(8.5 / 4.9)
t = 1.32 s
<h3>How to determine the distance </h3>
- Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
- Time (t) = 1.32 s
- Distance (s) =?
s = ut
s = 20 × 1.32
s = 26.4 m
