Question

A mass MM located at the origin exerts an attractive force

F(r)=GmMr3r\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r})=-G \frac{m M}{r^3} \mathbf{r}

on a mass m\mathrm{m} located at the tip of the radius vector r=xi+\mathbf{r}=x \mathbf{i}+ yj+zky \mathbf{j}+z \mathbf{k}. Find the flux of F\mathbf{F} into the sphere x2+y2+z2=a2x^2+y^2+z^2=a^2.
