STATEMENT -1 : Gravitational field inside a spherical mass shell is zero even if the mass distribution is uniform or non-uniform. and STATEMENT -2 : A mass object when placed inside a mass spherical shell, is protected from the gravitational field of another mass object placed outside the shell.

A block of mass m is lying at a distance r from a spherical shell of mass m and radius r, then : A. only gravitational field inside the shell is zero B. gravitational field and gravitational potential both are zero inside the shell C. gravitational potential as well as gravitational field inside the shell are not zero . D. can't be ascertained

The direction of gravitational intensity at point P of a hemispherical shell of uniform mass desity is indicated by the arrow

We know that the gravitational field strength is zero insdie a spereical shell of matter. The electrical field strenght is zero not only insdie an isolated charged spherical conductor but inside an isolated cunductor of any shap . Is the gravitational field strength inside, say, a cubical shell of matter zer? if not, in what respect is the analogy not complete?
