Question
A small ball of mass ‘m’ is released at a height ‘R’ above the earth surface, as shown in the figure above. If the maximum depth of the ball to which it goes is R/2 inside the earth through a narrow grove before coming to rest momentarily. The grove, contain an ideal spring of spring constant K and natural length R, find the value of K if R is radius of earth and M mass of earth
