Assume that the Earth is a solid sphere of uniform density and a tunnel is dug along its diameter throughout the Earth. It is found that when a particle is released in this tunnel, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The mass of the particle is $100 \, g$. The time period of the motion of the particle will be (approximately) (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$, radius of Earth $R = 6400 \, km$):

Two spherical planets $A$ and $B$ have the same mass,but their densities are in a ratio $8:1$. For these planets,the ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of $A$ to its value at the surface of $B$ is:

$A$ hole is drilled through the Earth along a diameter and a stone is dropped into it. When the stone reaches the center of the Earth,which of the following quantities remains constant?

The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is $g$ and the angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the poles is $\omega$. An object is weighed at the equator and at a height $h$ above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be the same,then $h$ is: ($h << R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth)

Weight of a body decreases by $1.5 \%$ when it is raised to a height $h$ above the surface of the Earth. When the same body is taken to the same depth $h$ in a mine,its weight will show ........
