A particle takes a time `t_(1)` to move down a straight tunnel from the surface of earth to its centre. If gravity were to remain constant this time would be `t_(2)` calculate the ratio `(t_(1))/(t_(2))`

A

`(pi)/(2sqrt(2))`

B

`(pi)/(sqrt(2))`

C

`sqrt(2)pi`

D

`(pi)/(sqrt(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`t=(T)/(4)=(2pi sqrt(R//9))/(4)=(pi)/(2)sqrt((R)/(g))rArr t'=sqrt((2R)/(g))`
`:. (t)/(t')=(pi)/(2sqrt(2))`
