With what velocity vo should a projectile be started at the center of the Earth to reach the surface of the Earth? How much time to would it take a particle to drop through a straight fric- tionless tunnel drilled through the Earth between Copenhagen and Los Angeles? (Show first that the particle may perform harmonic oscillations in the tunnel.)
