Let the mass of the earth be . Here, we have to find the gravitational field inside a solid sphere. The particle is placed at a distance x from the center. Now, the part outside the sphere of radius x, will have no influence on it as the electric field inside a spherical shell is zero. Hence, only the mass up to x will contribute to the electric field.

The density is uniform. Therefore, mass of the sphere would then be

Now the gravitational force on the particle at a distance x is
