(choose chapter or problem)

Because the formulas for Newtons law of gravity and for Coulombs law have the same inverse-square dependence on distance, a formula analogous to the formula for Gausss law can be found for gravity. The gravitational field at a location is the force per unit mass on a test mass placed at that location. (Then, for a point mass at the origin, the gravitational field at some position is Compute the flux of the gravitational field through a spherical surface of radius centered at the origin, and verify that the gravitational analog of Gausss law is
