Remove a spherical void centered at from a uniform sphere centered at the origin. At points inside the void, superposition combines the sphere's interior field with the removed sphere's field . Their sum is the displayed constant Newtonian gravitational field. A second removed mass outside this void adds a nonuniform contribution.
