A solid sphere of mass M and radius a is surrounded by a uniform concentric spherical shell of thickness 2 a and mass 2 M . The gravitational field at distance 3 a from the centre will be:

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Gravitational field at point P , = GM 3 a 2 + G 2 M 3 a 2 = GM 9 a 2 + 2 GM 9 a 2 = GM 3 a 2
