A charge +Q+Q is uniformly distributed in a spherical volume of radius RR. A particle of charge +q+q and mass mm projected with velocity v0v_0 from the surface of the spherical volume to its centre inside a smooth tunnel dug across the sphere. The minimum value of v0v_0 such that it just reaches the centre (assume that there is no resistance on the particle except electrostatic force) of the spherical volume is
