$A(1-\cos \omega \tau)=a$

$A(1-\cos 2 \omega \tau)=3 a$

$\cos \omega \tau=\left(1-\frac{a}{A}\right)$

$\cos 2 \omega \tau=\left(1-\frac{3 a}{A}\right)$

$2\left(1-\frac{a}{A}\right)^{2}-1=1-\frac{3 a}{A} \quad \because \cos 2 \theta=2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1$

Solving the equation $\frac{a}{A}=\frac{1}{2}$

$A=2 a$

$\cos \omega \tau=\frac{1}{2}$

$T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

$T=6 \tau$

    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 $=6400\,km$ )
