NEET Physics Question - Oscillation

Assertion (A): A hole were drilled through the centre of earth and a ball is dropped into the hole at one end, it will not get out of other end of the hole.

Reason (R): Ball will execute simple harmonic motion inside the hole.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Concept of gravity inside earth and SHM. Inside Earth, \(F = -k r\). A ball dropped in a hole through the Earth's center oscillates in SHM. It reaches the other end with zero velocity and turns back, thus not 'getting out' (escaping) the hole.

Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
