Gravity Tunnel 2.0

This is just an update of the prior Gravity Tunnel applet; see the attached PDFs with some important mathematical background. The applet is larger so that it can be seen better in a classroom display. Note that the planet is assumed to be non-rotating. Also, see the video of this Gravity Tunnel applet, in use; Google "@billevans6839" to get there.
