    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 $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$, radius of earth $=6400\,km$ )

    A particle performs $S.H.M.$ of amplitude $A$ with angular frequency $\omega$  along a straight line. Whenit is at a distance  $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$ $A$  from mean position, its kinetic energy gets increased by an amount $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{A^2}$  due to an impulsive force. Then its new amplitude becomes
