Two concentric shells of masses M1and M2are having radii r1and r2r2>r1 . Which of the following is the correct expression for the gravitational field on a mass m?

a
F= GM1+M2r2, for r
b
F =GM1+M2r2, for r 
c
F =GM2r2, for r1
d
F =GM1r2, for r1

detailed solution

Correct option is D

when r is in between r1and r2 field will be only due to M1not due to M2as it is within M2
