Question:medium
A body floats with \(\frac{1}{n}\) of its volume keeping outside of water. If the body has been taken to height \(h\) inside water and released, it will come to the surface after time \(t\). Then:
A body floats with \(\frac{1}{n}\) of its volume keeping outside of water. If the body has been taken to height \(h\) inside water and released, it will come to the surface after time \(t\). Then:
Show Hint
For buoyant bodies, the time to return to the surface is proportional to the square root of the submerged volume ratio.

- \(t \propto \sqrt{n}\)
- \(t \propto n\)
- \(t \propto \sqrt{n+1}\)
- \(t \propto \sqrt{n-1}\)
