A vertical object stands distance 419 cm from a vertical screen. You want to place a convex lens (focal length 15.7 cm) between the object and the screen so a real image of the object focuses on the screen. How far from the object, in cm, should the lens be placed? NOTE: There will be two answers; pick value for which the object is closest to the lens.
