उत्तर
At point P1, the gravitational field due to the sphere and the shell is given by
F \[= \frac{GM}{\left( 3a + a \right)^2} + 0 = \frac{GM}{16 a^2}\]
At point P2, the gravitational field due to the sphere and the shell is given by
\[F = \frac{GM}{\left( a + 4a + a \right)^2} + \frac{GM}{\left( 4a + a \right)^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow F = \frac{GM}{36 a^2} + \frac{GM}{25 a^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow F = \frac{GM}{a^2}\left( \frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{25} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow F = \frac{GM}{a^2}\left( \frac{25 + 36}{900} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow F = \left( \frac{61}{900} \right)\frac{GM}{a^2}\]

Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).
