$A$ stream-lined body falls through air from a height $h$ on the surface of a liquid. Let $d$ and $D$ denote the densities of the materials of the body and the liquid respectively. If $D$ > $d$, then the time after which the body will be instantaneously at rest is

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \frac{D}{d}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \frac{d}{D}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \left( \frac{d}{D-d} \right)$
