A hollow spherical shell of radius has its center at the origin of the coordinate system. The shell's variable area mass density is expressed as .
A test mass is positioned at . For simplicity, assume that the universal gravitational constant and test mass are both numerically equal to .
What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the shell on the test mass?
