Which one of the following is the correct value of time period of an object oscillating inside a tunnel dug across any chord of earth?

As shown in the diagram above, a tunnel is dug across a random chord of the earth. Which one of the following components of force is responsible for its oscillation?

When an object is allowed to fall freely through a tunnel passing through any chord of the earth, it

What kind of thermodynamic process is assumed when a piston oscillates in a cylinder.

Determine the time period of a body released in a tunnel dug through the diameter of the earth.

A tunnel is dug through one of the chords from earth's surface. When an object starts to fall through that tunnel, it starts to oscillate due to gravitational force. Derive the equation for time period of its oscillation. Mass of object, mass of earth, acceleration due to gravity, radius of earth.

Assume that a tunnel is dug throughout the diameter of earth as shown in the diagram.
When a person jumps from one end of the tunnel, he/she can easily come out of the other end.

As shown in the diagram, gas is filled in a cylinder up to a level in it with a piston of a cross-sectional area and mass covering it. If the piston is given a small displacement, it starts performing simple harmonic motion. Considering the initial pressure of the gas inside the cylinder to be , determine the time period of oscillation of the piston.
