A solid sphere of mass m and radius r is placed inside a hollow thin spherical shell of mass M and radius R as shown in Fig. A particle of mass m' is placed on the line joining the two centres at a distance x from the point of contact of the sphere and shell. Find the magnitude of force (gravitational) on this particle when 2r < x < 2R.
