Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth, at a perpendicular distance (\(R/2\)) from the earth's center, where '\(R\)' is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period :
1. \(\frac{2 \pi R}{g} \)
2. \(\frac{\mathrm{g}}{2 \pi \mathrm{R}} \)
3. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R}} \)
4. \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}} \)
