A pole is vertically submerged in swimming pool, such that it gives a length of shadow $2.15 \,m$ within water when sunlight is incident at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the surface of water. If swimming pool is filled to a height of $1.5\,m$, then the height of the pole above the water surface in centimetres is $\left(\eta_W=4 / 3\right)........$
