1.  1-dR

2.  1-2dR

3.  R-dR+d

4.  R+dR-d

When an air bubble of radius r rises from the bottom to the surface of the lake, its radius becomes 5r4. Taking the atmospheric pressure to be equal to 10 m height of water column, the depth of the lake would approximately be (ignore the surface tension and the effect of temperature) :

1.  11.2 m

2.  8.7 m

3.  9.5 m

4.  10.5 m
