$A$ body of density $\rho$ is dropped from rest at a height $h$ into a lake of density $\sigma$ $(\sigma > \rho)$. The maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface is (neglect air dissipative forces).

  • A
    $\frac{h \rho}{(\sigma - \rho)}$
  • B
    $\frac{h \rho}{(\sigma + \rho)}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho}{(\rho - \sigma)}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 h \rho}{(\sigma - \rho)}$
