$A$ drinking straw is dipped in a pan of water to a depth $d$ from the surface (see figure). Water is sucked into it up to an initial height $h_0$ and then left to oscillate. As a result,its height $y$ from the surface of the water varies periodically. Ignoring damping,the equation for $y$ is ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $\ddot{y}+\frac{g}{d} y=0$
  • B
    $\ddot{y}(y+d)+\frac{g}{d}(y+d)=0$
  • C
    $\ddot{y}+\frac{\dot{y}^2}{d}+\frac{g}{d}(y+d)=0$
  • D
    $(y+d)\ddot{y}+\dot{y}^2+gy=0$
