Question

For a particle inside a uniform spherical shell, the gravitational force on the particle is:

• A. Infinite
• B. Zero
• C. \( \frac{-G m_1 m_2}{r^2} \)
• D. \( \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2} \)

Hint:

Inside a uniform spherical shell, a particle experiences no net gravitational force because of the symmetrical distribution of mass.
