As shown in the figure,two spherical cavities are made in a uniform solid sphere of radius $R$. The boundaries of the cavities touch at the centre of the sphere. The centers of the cavities and the sphere lie on the $X$-axis. The mass of the solid sphere before the cavities were created was $M$. The gravitational force on a point mass $m$ at a distance $d$ away from the centre of the solid sphere is
