| Feb 23, 2014 at 20:41 | comment | added | John Rennie | @RdErdwien: as Samama says, all the objects have the same mass, and since they are all spherically symmetric they are all equivalent to the same point mass. | |
| Feb 23, 2014 at 20:15 | comment | added | Samama Fahim | But, it is also stated that each of them has the same mass. | |
| Feb 23, 2014 at 20:10 | comment | added | Reid Erdwien | @John Rennie Shouldn't the small uniform shell and small solid sphere exert less force? The distance stays the same, and assuming that uniform implies that all of the objects are made out of the same density then the thinner shell has less mass than the thicker shell. | |

It seems the homework tag applies even if it is not actual homework

| Feb 23, 2014 at 19:31 | comment | added | John Rennie | You are correct. All four objects will produce the same gravitational force. | |
| Feb 23, 2014 at 19:31 | comment | added | Samama Fahim | I've added the question. | |
