Bigger cork, because as the weight of it is higher the mass of displaced water due to it, so the

buoyant force also increases on it. Hence, its speed is faster.

A drinking straw is dipped in a pan of water to depth d from the surface (see figure below). Now 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):
