A cavity of radius R2 is made inside a solid sphere of radius R. The centre of the cavity is located at a distance R2 from the centre of the sphere. The gravitational force on a particle of mass m at a distance R2 from the centre of the sphere on the line joining both the centres of the sphere and the cavity is (opposite to the centre of cavity). [Here, g=GMR2 where M is the mass of the solid sphere.]

A tunnel is dug along a chord of the Earth at a perpendicular distance R/2 from the Earth's centre. The wall of the tunnel may be assumed to be frictionless. A particle is released from one end of the tunnel. The pressing force by the particle on the wall, and the acceleration of the particle varies with x (distance of the particle from the centre) according to :
