From a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$,a smaller sphere of radius $\frac{R}{2}$ is carved out. For the configuration shown in the figure where the distance between the center of the original sphere and the center of the removed sphere is $3R$,the gravitational force between the two spheres is:

  • A
    $\frac{7GM^2}{576R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{41GM^2}{450R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{59GM^2}{450R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{GM^2}{225R^2}$
