1. \(4v\) 2. \(2v\)
3. \(\dfrac{v}{2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{v}{4}\)

A planet of uniform density has a narrow frictionless tunnel \((AB)\) along its diameter (\(2R\)). The acceleration due to 'gravity' on the surface of the planet is \(g.\)

A particle is given a velocity \(v_0\) at the point \(A,\) perpendicular to \(OA,\) so that it circles the planet – close to its surface. What is its angular speed?
1. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{R}}\) 2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{2g}{R}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{2R}}\) 4. \(2\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{R}}\)
