Two concentric shells of uniform density of mass $M_1$ and $M_2$ are situated as shown in the figure. The forces experienced by a particle of mass $m$ when placed at positions $A, B$ and $C$ respectively are (given $OA = p, OB = q$ and $OC = r$):

  • A
    zero,$G\frac{M_1 m}{q^2}$ and $G\frac{(M_1 + M_2)m}{p^2}$
  • B
    $G\frac{(M_1 + M_2)m}{p^2}, G\frac{(M_1 + M_2)m}{q^2}$ and $G\frac{M_1 m}{r^2}$
  • C
    $G\frac{M_1 m}{q^2}, G\frac{(M_1 + M_2)m}{p^2}$ and zero
  • D
    $G\frac{(M_1 + M_2)m}{p^2}, G\frac{M_1 m}{q^2}$ and zero
