To find the gravitational field due to a solid sphere of radius \( a \) with a density given by \( \rho = \frac{\rho_0}{r} \) at a distance \( 2a \) from its center, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the mass of the sphere The density of the sphere varies with the distance \( r \) from the center. We can express the mass of a thin spherical shell of radius \( r \) and thickness \( dr \) as: \[ dm = \rho \cdot dV \] ...
