A solid sphere of uniform density and radius R applies a gravitational force of attraction equal to F1 un a particle placed at a distance 2R from the centre of the sphere. A spherical cavity of radius R/2 is now made in the sphere as shown in the figure. The sphere with the cavity now applies a gravitational force F2 on the same particle. The ratio F1/F2 is

Consider two solid uniform spherical objects of the same density ρ. One has radius R and the other has radius 2 R. They are in outer space where the gravitational fields from other objects are negligible. If they are arranged with their surface touching, what is the contact force between the objects due to their traditional attraction?
