40. tunnel is made across the earth at distance R/2 from the center of earth.A particle is dropped (from rest) in the tunnel at one end. If v1 is the speed of particle when passing through the center of tunnel and v2 is the orbital speed of an earth satellite(very close to earthg surface). If v1/v2 = root x +1 / x. Find x.

Q. Two tunnels are dug from one side of the earth's surface to the other side, one along a diameter and the other along a chord. Now two particles are dropped from one end of each of the tunnels. Both the particles oscillate simple harmonically along the tunnels. Let

and

T_{2}

be the time period

v_{1}

and

v_{2}

be the maximum speed of the particle in the two tunnels. Then
