A solid sphere of mass m and radius r is placed inside a hollow thin spherical shell of mass M and radius R as shown in figure (11-E1). A particle of mass m is placed on the line joining the two centres at a distance x from the point o contact of the sphere and the shell. Find the magnitude of the resultant gravitational force on this particle due to the sphere and the shell if (a) r< x< 2r, (b) 2r < x < 2R and (c) x> 2R.
