Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth, at a perpendicular distance `(R//2)` from the earth's centre, where 'R' is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period :
