If a narrow tunnel is dug between 2 2 diametrically opposite points of the Earth, assuming the Earth is a solid sphere of uniform density, then any particle released in this tunnel will exhibit a simple harmonic motion.

Calculate the time period of this motion.

Consider the radius of Earth to be 6371 6371 k m km and its mass to be 5.972 × 1 0 24 5.972 \times 10^{24} K g Kg .

Let G G = 6.67 × 1 0 11 6.67 \times 10^{-11} m 3 k g 1 s 2 m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2} .

Input the answer to 2 decimal places.


The answer is 5062.54.
