A small area is removed from a uniform spherical shell of mass M and radius R. Then the gravitatioinal field intensity near the hollow portion is

Options

A. `(GM)/(R^(2))`
B. `(GM)/(2R^(2))`
C. `(3GM)/(2R^(2))`
D. zero

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the gravitational field intensity near the hollow portion of a uniform spherical shell from which a small area has been removed, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Gravitational Field Inside a Spherical Shell**:
- According to the shell theorem, the gravitational field inside a uniform spherical shell is zero. This means that if we are inside the shell, the gravitational field intensity due to the shell itself is zero.

**Hint**: Recall that the gravitational field inside a uniform spherical shell is zero regardless of the mass distribution as long as it is uniform.
