Imagine all the mass of the Earth is in a shell of a thickness of R(earth)/2. So if the object is inside the shell or outside the shell, I know I can apply the shell theorem to solve the gravitational force acting on it. But, what if the object is IN the shell, in another words R(earth)/2<r<R(earth), how do we calculate the gravitational force?
