The velocity $(v)$ of a particle (under a force $F$) depends on its distance $(x)$ from the origin (with $x > 0$) as $v \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$. Find how the magnitude of the force $(F)$ on the particle depends on $x$.

  • A
    $F \propto \frac{1}{x^{3/2}}$
  • B
    $F \propto \frac{1}{x}$
  • C
    $F \propto \frac{1}{x^2}$
  • D
    $F \propto \frac{1}{x^3}$
