A very small round ball is located inside a large spherical shell (i.e. a thin-walled hollow sphere) without touching the inner surface of the shell. Imagine that the experiment is conducted in deep space far from any significant external gravitational influence. The force that the large sphere exerts on the ball is approximately the same as it would be if all the mass of the sphere were concentrated at the center of the sphere. is zero is exactly the same as it would be if all the mass of the sphere were concentrated at the center of the sphere. Jay depends on the mass of the ball. O is impossible to calculate without knowing where the small ball is located relative to the center of the shell.
