Question

A sphere of mass M and radius R2 has a concentric cavity of radius R1 as shown in figure. The force F exerted by the sphere on a particle of mass m located at a distance r from the centre of sphere varies as (0r)

Moderate
Solution

F=0  when  0rR1
because intensity is zero inside the cavity.
F increase when R1rR2

F1r2 when  r>R2
