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?
