Gravitational field due to a solid sphere

There is a concentric hole of radius R in a solid sphere of radius 2R. Mass of the remaining portional is M. What is the gravitational potential at centre?

Figure shows a spherical cavity inside a lead sphere. The surface of the cavity passes through the centre of the sphere and touches the right side of the sphere. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M . With what gravitational force does the hollowed out lead sphere attract a particle of mass m that lies at a distance d from the centre of the lead sphere on the straight line connecting the centres of the spheres and of the cavity.

A spherical hollow cavity is made in a lead sphere of radius R such that is surface touches the outside surface of the lead sphere and passes through its centre. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M with what gravitational force will the hollowed out lead sphere attract a small sphere of mass m which lies at a distacne d from the centre of the lead sphere on the straight line connecting the centeres of the spheres and that of the hollow if d =2R .

A spherical hollow is made in lead sphere of radius R, such that its surface touche the outside surface of the lead sphere and passes though its centre. The mass of the sphere before hollowing sphere exert on a point mass m placed at the centre of the hollow?

A spherical hollow is made in a lead sphere of radius R such that its surface touches the outside surface of the lead sphere and passes through the centre. The mass of the lead sphere before hollowing was M . The force of attraction that this sphere would exert on a particle of mass m which lies at a distance d from the centre joining the centre of the sphere and the hollow is

A hemispherical cavity of radius R is created in a solid sphere of radius 2R as shown in the figure . Then y -coordinate of the centre of mass of the remaining sphere is

A cavity of radius R//2 is made inside a solid sphere of radius R . The centre of the cavity is located at a distance R//2 from the centre of the sphere. The gravitational force on a particle of a mass 'm' at a distance R//2 from the centre of the sphere on the line joining both the centres of sphere and cavity is (opposite to the centre of cavity). [Here g=GM//R^(2) , where M is the mass of the solide sphere]

A solid sphere of radius R//2 is cut out of a solid sphere of radius R such that the spherical cavity so formed touches the surface on one side and the centre of the sphere on the other side, as shown. The initial mass of the solid sphere was M . If a particle of mass m is placed at a distance 2.5R from the centre of the cavity, then what is the gravitational attraction on the mass m ?
