1. The setup shown by the diagram below was used to calculate the force experienced by a small mass \( m \) situated at a distance \( r \) from the geometric center of a spherical shell with mass \( M \), radius \( R \), and a wall thickness of \( t \).

The diagram shows:

- A circle representing the spherical shell with radius \( R \).
- A small mass \( m \) located outside the spherical shell at a distance \( r \) from the center \( C \).
- An angle \( \theta \) with an arc length \( Rd\theta \), and two lines forming an angle \( \phi \) with the horizontal that meet at the small mass \( m \).
- A small force element \( dF \) acting on mass \( m \).
- The line \( \ell \) that extends from the center \( C \) to the small mass \( m \).

If the mass is situated **outside** the spherical shell, the force can be calculated by integration from \( \ell = (r - R) \) to \( \ell = (r + R) \), as shown here:

\[
\int_{\ell = r-R}^{\ell = r+R} dF = \int_{\ell = r-R}^{\ell = r+R} Gm\rho\pi \frac{R}{r^2} \left( 1 + \frac{r^2 - R^2}{\ell^2} \right) d\ell
\]

What would the limits of integration be if the mass were situated **inside** the spherical shell? Include a labeled diagram to represent this situation.
