If a smooth tunnel is dug across a diameter of earth and a particle is released from the surface of earth, the particle oscillate simple harmonically along it
Time period of the particle is not equal to

Force acting on the particle `=(m_o)(g_"earth")`
`=(m_o)((Gm)/R^3)x`
As this form is opposite of x so we can write
`F=-((Gm m_o)/R^3)x`
Now this form `F alpha-x`, So motion of the particle Will be simple harmonia motion
`F=-((Gm m_o)/R^3)x`
F=-Kx
Comparing with the standard eqn. of SHM the force constant `K=(Gm m_o)/R^3`
So time period of the particle .
`T=2pisqrt(m_o/k)`
`T=2pisqrt((m_o/(Gm_(mo)))/R^3)`
`T=2pisqrt(R^3/(Gm))`
