If a hole is drilled along the diameter of the earth and a stone is dropped into it. The stone :

Answer»

reaches the centre of earth and stops
reaches the opposite end and stops
EXECUTES S.H.M. about the centre of earth
reaches the opposite side and escapes earth.

Solution :A stone dropped in tunnel along the diameter of earth executes S.H.M. motion as ACCELERATION is proportional to displacement from mean position is DIRECTED towards centre of earth.
At depth `d,g.=g(1-(d)/( R ))=g((R-d)/( R ))=g(y)/( R )`
Hence correct choice is ( c ).
