$A$ body floats with $\frac{1}{n}$ of its volume outside of water. If the body is pushed to a depth $h$ inside the water and released, it will come to the surface after time $t$. Then:

  • A
    $t \propto \sqrt{n}$
  • B
    $t \propto n$
  • C
    $t \propto \sqrt{n+1}$
  • D
    $t \propto \sqrt{n-1}$
