$A$ pendulum is oscillating with frequency $n$ on the surface of the Earth. If it is taken to a depth $d = \frac{R}{4}$ below the surface of the Earth,what is the new frequency of oscillation? ($R =$ radius of the Earth)

If the density of the earth is doubled keeping the radius constant,find the new acceleration due to gravity (in $m/s^2$)? $(g = 9.8 \ m/s^2)$

Assertion $(A)$: $A$ particle of mass $m$ dropped into a hole made along the diameter of the Earth from one end to the other possesses simple harmonic motion.
Reason $(R)$: Gravitational force between any two particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
