The pressure at half the depth of a lake is equal to two-third pressure at the bottom of the lake. So the depth '$h$' of the lake is ($\rho$ = density of water in the lake, $g$ = acceleration due to gravity, $P_0$ = atmospheric pressure).

  • A
    $\frac{2P_0}{\rho g}$
  • B
    $\frac{P_0}{\rho g}$
  • C
    $\frac{2P_0}{3\rho g}$
  • D
    $\frac{P_0}{2\rho g}$
