Problem

A uniform solid sphere of radius R=10 mR = 10\,\text{m} and density ρ=3000 kg/m3\rho = 3000\,\text{kg/m}^{3} has a spherical cavity of radius r=2 mr = 2\,\text{m} inside it. The center of the cavity is located at a distance d=4 md = 4\,\text{m} from the center of the solid sphere along the xx -axis. Determine the magnitude and direction of the gravitational field strength at the center of the cavity.
