If you stepped into a hole that passed completely through Earth, you'd oscillate down and up. How long would a one-way trip take? How long would a round trip take?
Time taken for a one-way trip. Also, the timefor a round trip.
Answer to Problem 14A
For a one-way trip,
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: For a Simple Harmonic Motion, time period for the oscillation would be
Let’s say mass
Calculation: Thus, Time period of oscillation
Where,
Inserting the values, we will get
Time duration to cover a one-way travel
Conclusion: Thus, a one-way trip across the tunnel into the Earth will take
