Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth, at a perpendicular distance (R/2) from the earth’s centre, where ‘R’ is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period

A body weights 49N on a spring balance at the north pole. What will be its weight recorded on the same weighing machine, if it is shifted to the equator?
[use g = <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>
As we go pole to equator, acceleration due to gravity decreases. So, weight of the body will also reduces. Thus, weight on equator will be slightly smaller than 49 N.
The same size images are formed by a convex lens by a convex lens when the object is placed at 20cm or at 10cm from the lens. The focal length of convex lens is ……………cm.
The same size images are formed by a convex lens by a convex lens when the object is placed at 20cm or at 10cm from the lens. The focal length of convex lens is ……………cm.
Image is virtual, when an object is placed at distance 10 cm from the lens and image is real when object is placed at 20 cm from the lens.
Thus, m1 = -m2 =>
Two satellites A and B of masses 200kg and 400kg are revolving round the earth at height of 600km and 1600km respectively. If TA and TB are the time periods of A and B respectively then the value of TB – TA :
[Given : radius of earth = 6400km, mass of earth = 6 × 1024kg]

The initial velocity vi required to project a body vertically upward from the surface of the earth to reach a height of 10R, where R is the radius of the earth, may be described in terms of escape velocity ve such that The value of x will be………

Using conservation of energy :
Escape velocity is defined as
If RE be the radius of Earth, then the ratio between the acceleration due to gravity at a depth ‘r’ below and a height ‘r’ above the earth surface is:
If RE be the radius of Earth, then the ratio between the acceleration due to gravity at a depth ‘r’ below and a height ‘r’ above the earth surface is:
Acceleration due to gravity at r distance above the surface =
Acceleration due to gravity at r distance below the surface =
So, ratio =
The masses and radii of the earth and moon are (M1, R1) and (M2, R2) respectively. Their centres are at a distance ‘r’ apart. Find the minimum escape velocity for a particle of mass ‘m’ to be projected from the middle of these two masses:
