    If pressure at half the depth of a lake is equal to 2/3 pressure at the bottom of the lake then what is the depth of the lake    [RPET 2000]

    A) 10m    

    B)             20m

    C)             60m    

    D)             30m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Pressure at half the depth \[={{P}_{0}}+\frac{h}{2}dg\] Pressure at the bottom \[={{P}_{0}}+h\rho g\] According to given condition \[{{P}_{0}}+\frac{h}{2}dg=\frac{2}{3}({{P}_{0}}+hdg)\] Þ\[3{{P}_{0}}+\frac{3h}{2}dg=2{{P}_{0}}+2hdg\] \[\Rightarrow h=\frac{2{{P}_{0}}}{dg}=\frac{2\times {{10}^{5}}}{{{10}^{3}}\times 10}=20\ m\]
