प्रश्न
Answer the following:
You can shield a charge from electrical forces by putting it inside a hollow conductor. Can you shield a body from the gravitational influence of nearby matter by putting it inside a hollow sphere or by some other means?

उत्तर १
No
Gravitational influence of matter on nearby objects cannot be screened by any means. This is because gravitational force unlike electrical forces is independent of the nature of the material medium. Also, it is independent of the status of other objects.
उत्तर २
No. Gravitational forces are independent of medium. A body cannot be shielded from the gravitational influence of nearby matter.
