A spherical shell is cut into two pieces along a chord as shown in the figure. P is a point on the plane of the chord. The gravitational field at P due to the upper part is I1 and that due to the lower part is I2. What is the relation between them?


- I1 > I2
- I1 < I2
- I1 = I2
- No definite relation
Answer
(C) I 1 = I 2
