Gravitational potential inside a long but finite cylinder

Suppose a cylinder of length $\ell$, radius $R$ with a bore hole through its long axis of radius $r$. How can the gravitational potential (not the gravitational field) inside the cylinder be derived. …

Infinite plane gravity: what is "mass density per unit area"?

Recently I learned that the gravity of an infinity plane is independent of the distance from that plane. In fact it is $$g = 2\pi G \sigma$$ where $\sigma$ is "the mass density of the plane per unit …
