Gravitational field intensity
Question

A spherical shell is cut into two pieces along a chord as shown in fig. P is a point on the plane of the chord.
 

The gravitational field at P due to the upper part is I1,and that due to lower part is I2. What is the relation between I1, and I2, ?

Easy
Solution

At point P, I1 -I2=o (because the gravitational field inside a shell is zero). Hence I1=I2
