A cavity of radius R/2 is made inside a solid sphere of radius R. The centre of the cavity is located at a distance R/2 from the centre of the sphere. The gravitational force on a particle of mass m at a distance R/2 from the centre of the sphere on the line joining both the centres of the sphere and the cavity is (opposite to the centre of the cavity)
[Here g=(GM)/R2, where M is the mass of the sphere]
