Balcony-sized solar cookers have been designed for families living in India. The top of a dish has a diameter of 1600 mm. The sun’s rays reflect off the parabolic mirror toward the "cooker," which is placed 320 mm from the vertex of the mirror. What is the depth of the cooker? Omit units from your answer.
