Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Gravitation: Problem 62

62 Figure 13-40 shows a spherical hollow inside a lead sphere of radius R = 2.00 cm; the surface of the hollow passes through the center of the sphere and “touches” the right side of the sphere. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M = 2.95 kg. With what gravitational force does the hollowed-out lead sphere attract a small sphere of mass m = 0.950 kg that lies at a distance d = 9.00 cm from the center of the lead sphere, on the straight line connecting the centers of the spheres and of the hollow?
