    If the pressure at half depth of river is\[\frac{2}{3}\]times of pressure of that bottom, then depth of river is

    A)  10 m             

    B)  20 m

    C)  60 m            

    D)  30 m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The pressure of half depth \[={{p}_{0}}+\frac{h}{2}\rho g\] The pressure at bottom\[={{p}_{0}}+h\rho g\] According to question. \[{{p}_{0}}+\frac{h}{2}\rho g=\frac{2}{3}({{p}_{0}}+h\rho g)\] \[3{{p}_{0}}+\frac{3h}{2}\rho g=2{{p}_{0}}+2h\rho g\] \[h=\frac{2{{p}_{0}}}{\rho g}=\frac{2\times {{10}^{5}}}{{{10}^{3}}\times 10}=20m\]
