The particle will move towards the centre.

B

The particle will move away from the centre, towards the nearest wall.

C

The particle will move towards the centre if `m lt M` and away from the centre if `m lt M`

A thin uniform spherical shell of mass M and radius R is held fixed . There is a small hole punched in the shell. A particle of mass m is released from rest at a distance R from the hole along a line that passes through the hole and also through the centre of the shell. The particle starts moving towards the centre of shell only due to gravitational attraction. Find the time taken by the particle to reach the diagonally opposite end of the shell.
