Two spherical, nonconducting, and very thin shells of uniformly distributed positive charge $Q$ and radius d are located a distance $10d$ from each other. A positive point charge $q$ is placed inside one of the shells at a distance $d/2$ from the center, on the line connecting the centers of the two shells, as shown in the figure. What is the net force on the charge $q $ ?
