In this exercise, we are asked to express the gravitational field g\vec{g} in terms of Gauss Law.

A surface integral of the gravitational field across a closed surface is what we refer to as gravitational flux. This is similar to how magnetic flux refers to a surface integral of the magnetic field. According to Gauss's rule on gravity, the gravitational flux that passes through any closed surface is proportional to the mass that is enclosed.
