Two smooth tunnels are dug from one side of earth's surface to the other side, one along a diameter are dropped from one end of each of the tunnels. Both particles oscillate simple harmonically along the tunnels. Let `T_(1)` and `T_(2)` be the time period of particles along the diameter and along the chord respectively. Then:

A

`T_(1)=T_(2)`

B

`T_(1) gt T_(2)`

C

`v_(1)=v_(2)`

D

`v_(1) gt v_(2)`

Two smooth tunnels are dug from one side of earth's surface to the other side, one along a diameter and other along the chord .Now two particle are dropped from one end of each of the tunnels. Both time particles oscillate simple harmonically along the tunnels. Let T_(1) and T_(2) be the time particle and v1and v2 be the maximum speed along the diameter and along the chord respectively. Then:

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

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 Maximum speed of the particle is

A tunnel is dug along a diameter of the earth. Find the force on a particle of mass m placed in the tunnel at a distance x from the centre.

Suppose a tunnel is dug along a diameter of the earth. A particle is dropped from a point at a distance h directly above the tunnel. The motion of the particle as seen from the earth is

A tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth at a perpendicular distance R//2 from the earth's centre. The wall of the tunnel may be assumed to be frictionless. A particle is released from one end of the tunnel. The pressing force by the particle on the wall, and the acceleration of the particle vary with x (distance of the particle from the centre) according to

a narrow tunnel is dug along the diameter of the earth, and a particle of mass m_(0) is placed at R/2 distance from the centre. Find the escape speed of the particle from that place.

A tunnel is dug in the earth across one of its diameter. Two masses m and 2m are dropped from the two ends of the tunel. The masses collide and stick each other. They perform SHM , the ampulitude of which is (R = radius of earth)

Consider the earth as a uniform sphere if mass M and radius R . Imagine a straight smooth tunnel made through the earth which connects any two points on its surface. Show that the motion of a particle of mass m along this tunnel under the action of gravitation would be simple harmonic. Hence, determine the time that a particle would take to go from one end to the other through the tunnel.

Assume that as narrow tunnel is dug between two diametrically opposite points of the earth. Treat the earth as a solid sphere of uniform density. Show that if a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion. Calculate the time period of this motion.
