If a body is released into a tunnel dug across the diameter of the Earth,it executes simple harmonic motion with a time period of:

  • A
    $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{R_e}}}{g}} $
  • B
    $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{2\,{R_e}}}{g}} $
  • C
    $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{R_e}}}{{2g}}} $
  • D
    $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{R_e}}{{3g}}} $

$A$ body executes simple harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $(4/5) \ s$. If the force is changed to $F_2$,it executes $SHM$ with a time period $(3/5) \ s$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body,its time period (in $s$) is:

The relation between the force ($F$ in newton) acting on a particle executing simple harmonic motion and the displacement of the particle ($y$ in metre) is $500 F + \pi^2 y = 0$. If the mass of the particle is $2 \text{ g}$, the time period of oscillation of the particle is (in $\text{ s}$)

An air chamber of volume $V$ has a neck of cross-sectional area $a$ into which a ball of mass $m$ just fits and can move up and down without any friction (Figure). Show that when the ball is pressed down a little and released,it executes $SHM$. Obtain an expression for the time period of oscillations assuming pressure-volume variations of air to be isothermal.
