The depth of the lake = 4.9m

Explanation:

Use the equation: P = hρg. This formula is used to find the pressure in liquids.

P refers to the pressure.
h refers to the height/depth.
ρ refers to the density of the liquid.
g refers to the gravitational pull of the Earth.

Now, make h the subject of the formula: P/ρg = h

Now, we assume that the density of the water is 1000kg/m3.

Then, we input the values: h= 49000/(1000×10)

Which gives us the answer of 4.9m.
