Gravitational Force Inside a Spherical Shell
A particle of mass m is located at a distance r from the center of a uniform spherical shell with mass M, inner radius R₁, and outer radius R₂. For the case where R₁ < r < R₂, the gravitational force exerted on the particle is proportional to:
A
The mass enclosed between radii R₁ and r
B
M/r²
C
(M/R₂³)(r - R₁³/r²)
D
Mr/R₂³
