Question

A thin spherical shell of total mass M and radius R is held fixed. A small hole is present in the shell. A mass m is released from rest at dis†an ce R from the hole. This mass subsequently moves under the gravitational force of the shell. How long does the mass will take to travel from the hole to the point daimetrically oppposite?
