Question: Question 1 1 : Compare the gravitational force inside a solid sphere, at the surface of a solid sphere, and outside of a solid sphere

Question 11: Compare the gravitational force inside a solid sphere, at the surface of a solid sphere, and outside of a solid sphere at various distances using Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. [Hint: The answer is an algebraic expression for all three cases, but one case is calculated to an exact number.]
Constants: G=6.6710-11Nm2kg2, Radius of the Earth rE=6.378106m
A. Inside: ??F=GmMr2, Surface: ??F=0, Outside: ??F=GmMr2=GmM(rE+h)2
B. Inside: ??F=0, Surface: ??F=GmMrE2, Outside: ??F=GmMr2=GmM(rB+h)2
C. Inside: ??F=GmMr2=GmMh2, Surface: ??F=GmMrE2, Outside: ??F=GmMr2=GmM(rE+h)2
D. Inside: ??F=GmMr2=GmM(rE-h)2 Surface: ??F=GmMrE2, Outside: ??F=GmMr2=GmM(rE+h)2
