A homogeneous spherical heavenly body has a uniform and very narrow frictionless duct along its diameter. Let mass of the body be `M` and diameter be `D`. A point mass `m` moves smoothly inside the duct. Force exerted on this mass when it is at a distance `s` from the centre of the body is (numerically)
