Solved: Youre working on the script of a movie whose plot involves a hole drilled

Chapter 13, Problem 76

(choose chapter or problem)

Youre working on the script of a movie whose plot involves a hole drilled straight through Earths center and out the other side. Youre asked to determine what will happen if a person falls into the hole. You find that the gravitational acceleration inside Earth points toward Earths center, with magnitude given approximately by g1r2 = g01r/RE2, where g0 is the surface value, r is the distance from Earths center, and RE is Earths radius. What do you report for the persons motion, including equations and values for any relevant parameters?
