Assume that a ball of charged particles has a uniformly distributed negative charge density except for a narrow radial tunnel through its center, from the surface on one side to the surface on the opposite side. Also assume that we can position a proton anywhere along the tunnel or outside the ball. Let FR be the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the proton when it is located at the ball's surface, at radius R. As a multiple of R, how far from the surface is there a point where the force magnitude is 0.30FR if we move the proton (a) away from the ball and (b) into the tunnel?

Assume a planet (Earth for example) is an uniform sphere of radius R and it has a narrow radial tunnel through its center. Assume that we can position an object anywhere along this tunnel or outside the planet (again Earth as an example). Let Fr equal magnitude of the gravitational force on the object that is traveling through the center of the planet. When the object is found at the planet’s surface, how far from the surface is there a...
