The diameter of the moon is $3.5 \times 10^3 \text{ km}$ and its distance from the earth is $3.8 \times 10^5 \text{ km}$. If it is seen through a telescope whose focal lengths for the objective and eye lens are $4 \text{ m}$ and $10 \text{ cm}$ respectively,then the angle subtended by the moon on the eye will be approximately.......$^o$
