A solid sphere of uniform density and mass M has radius 4 m. Its centre is at the origin of the coordinate system. Two spheres of radii 1 m are taken out so that their centres are at P(0,-2,0) and Q(0,2,0), respectively. This leaves two spherical cavities. What is the gravitational field at the origin of the coordinate axes?

A cavity of radius R2 is made inside a solid sphere of radius R. The centre of the cavity is located at a distance R2 from the centre of the sphere. The gravitational force on a particle of mass m at a distance R2 from the centre of the sphere on the line joining both the centres of the sphere and the cavity is (opposite to the centre of cavity).
