Two spheres M and N are far from any other mass. The mass of sphere M is greater than the mass of sphere N. A distance xx is measured from the surface of M along the line between the centres of M and N. The variation with xx of the gravitational field strength gg is determined. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/PROD/homework-question-parsing/marker/20260305T055505Z/3e27cacaebc04567ba57197a1ca84ac1/7bf4ae6f6e514c657b55be6302e3c7a4_img.jpg) What is the variation of gg with xx? ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/PROD/homework-question-parsing/marker/20260305T055505Z/e41d60bac1e54865a1ed5fe328228155/24b549c0c4b79c515b244625cf4f4978_img.jpg)
