Paragraph for question nos. 30 to 32
What would happen to you if you fell along a straight tunnel through the center of Earth. The problem has
been analyzed ever since Galileo considered it. However, the most enchanting version is the one about
Alice where she falls down the rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland", which Lewis Carroll wrote to
entertain the (real) Alice Liddell when she was a child. Here is a passage from Alice:

Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look
about her, and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what
she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything: then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed
that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung
upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed: it was labeled “ORANGE
MARMALADE,” but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar, for fear of
killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. …

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this
time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth.”

If Alice did fall down a tunnel to the center of the Earth, would she drift slowly enough to see or grab things
along the way? Would the gravitational force that pulled her downward wane during the descent? These
questions were hot topics in Carroll’s time, but Galileo had the correct explanation long before then.

Q.30 If Alice reached her wonderland 21 minutes after the fall, (neglecting air resistance) the wonderland was

(A) at the centre of the tunnel

(B) at the other end of the tunnel

(C) at midpoint of the centre of the tunnel and point from where Alice fell down.

(D) at midpoint of the center of the tunnel and the other end of tunnel.

Q.32 The only explanation of Alice's small velocity can be air resistance she experiences. Choose the correct
statement assuming that Alice falls with constant speed.

(A) The air resistance is maximum at centre of earth and minimum at surface.

(B) The air resistance is minimum at centre of earth and maximum at surface.

(C) The air resistance is same all through the motion.

(D) The air resistance is minimum midway between centre of tunnel and surface.
