Q.

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 of earth ) according to

Detailed Solution

Net force towards centre of earth

=mgι = mgx/R

Normal force N =mgι sin θ

Thus pressing force N = mgxRR2x

N = mg2 is constant and independent of x

Hence ( 2)

Tangential force F = ma= mgι cos θ

Q= gιcos θ =gxx2-R24Rx       a=gxRR2-4X2

Curve is parabolic and at x=R2,a=0 Hence ( 3 )
