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}}} $

$A$ rectangular block of mass $m$ and area of cross-section $A$ floats in a liquid of density $\rho$. If it is given a small vertical displacement from equilibrium,it undergoes simple harmonic motion with a time period $T$. Then:

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at the centre. Its two ends are attached to two springs of equal spring constants $k$. The springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in the figure,and the rod is free to oscillate in the horizontal plane. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle $\theta$ in one direction and released. The frequency of oscillation is
