Detailed Solution
Consider superposition of complete sphere of mass M and radius R and for cavity take negative mass MR3r3 and radius r. g→=GMR3a→+r→−GMR3r3r3r→=GMR3a→ Gravitational field is independent of location of point in cavity or we can say the field is uniform inside the cavity.
A spherical cavity is created in a uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R by removing a part of sphere. The radius of the cavity is r & its centre is at a distance ‘a’ from the centre of the sphere.
