A small ball of mass $'m'$ is released at a height $'R'$ above the Earth surface, as shown in the figure. 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 $R,$ the value of $K$ is ( $R$ is radius of Earth and $M$ mass of Earth)

A projectile is projected with velocity $k{v_e}$ in vertically upward direction from the ground into the space. (${v_e}$ is escape velocity and $k < 1)$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible then the maximum height from the centre of earth to which it can go, will be : (R = radius of earth)

At what altitude will the acceleration due to gravity be $25\% $ of that at the earth’s surface (given radius of earth is $R$) ?
