| Aug 21, 2013 at 4:32 | comment | added | user80551 | Yeah, I was confused as my textbook stated that only the part inside causes acceleration instead of the part outside does not result in net acceleration | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 20:51 | comment | added | Kyle Oman | Yes. Of course there is acceleration due to all mass, but the part outside causes no net acceleration. I think you get the idea now. | |
