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

$(a)$ Earth can be thought of as a sphere of radius $6400 \, km$. Any object (or a person) is performing circular motion around the axis of the Earth due to the Earth's rotation (period $1 \, \text{day}$). What is the acceleration of an object on the surface of the Earth (at the equator) towards its centre? What is it at latitude $\theta$? How do these accelerations compare with $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$?
$(b)$ The Earth also moves in a circular orbit around the Sun once every year with an orbital radius of $1.5 \times 10^{11} \, m$. What is the acceleration of the Earth (or any object on the surface of the Earth) towards the centre of the Sun? How does this acceleration compare with $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$?
