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}}} $
