A small object is completely submerged in a fluid at depth h. If the density of the fluid increases linearly with depth according to ρ(y) = ρ₀(1 + αy), where y is measured from the surface and α is a constant, what is the buoyant force on the object of volume V?

A

ρ₀(1 + αh)gV

B

ρ₀(1 + αh/2)gV

C

ρ₀(1 + α)gV

D

ρ₀gV
