[QUOTE="gneill, post: 4973456, member: 293536"] Maybe the dust particles are individual neutrons :) [USER=538188]@dmk90[/USER]: Since the sheet is so extensive compared to the distance of the puny spaceship from its surface, it will effectively look like an infinite sheet of mass density σ. I don't know about you, but when I see infinite sheets of anything producing a field I think Gauss' Law. There's a Gauss' Law for gravity! Look it up. By the way, by analogy to the field produced by an infinite sheet of electrical charge, what can you say about the acceleration that the ship experiences over the whole distance to the surface of the sheet? Remind you of anything? [/QUOTE]
