To determine the time period of oscillation of a body dropped into a straight hole bored through the center of a homogeneous Earth, we can use the formula for the time period of simple harmonic motion (SHM) in this context. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Formula**: The time period \( T \) of a body executing SHM in a gravitational field can be expressed as: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e}{g}} ...
