B$42.3$ minutes
b (b) Ball execute $S.H.M.$ inside the tunnel with time period $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{R}{g}} = 84.63\;\min $
Hence time to reach the ball from one end to the other end of the tunnel $t = \frac{{84.63}}{2} = 42.3\;\min .$

A particle of mass $m$ is released from rest and follows a parabolic path as shown. Assuming that the displacement of the mass from the origin is small, which graph correctly depicts the position of the particle as a function of time $?$
A particle in $SHM $ is described by the displacement equation $x(t) = A\cos (\omega t + \theta ).$ If the initial $(t = 0)$ position of the particle is $1 \,cm$ and its initial velocity is $\pi $cm/s, what is its amplitude? The angular frequency of the particle is $\pi {s^{ - 1}}$
A brass cube of side $a$ and density $\rho$ is floating in mercury of density $\sigma$. If the cube is displaced a bit vertically, it executes $S.H.M.$ Its time period will be
Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centres of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m. Each spring has a natural length of 0.06$\pi$ m and force constant 0.1N/m. Initially both the balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi /6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball B is
The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum is $'\omega '$ and $'A'$ respectively. At a displacement $x$ from the mean position its kinetic energy is $'T'$ and potnetial energy is $'V'$. Then the ratio $\frac{V}{T}$ is
A simple pendulum consisting of a ball of mass $m$ tied to a thread of length $l$ is made to swing on a circular arc of angle $\theta $ in a vertical plane. At the end of this arc, another ball of mass $m$ is placed at rest. The momentum transferred to this ball at rest by the swinging ball is
A particle is executing a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is $\alpha$ and maximum velocity is $\beta$. Then, its time period of vibration will be
