$A$ man of mass $m$ starts falling towards a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R.$ As he reaches near to the surface,he realizes that he will pass through a small hole in the planet. As he enters the hole,he sees that the planet is really made of two pieces: a spherical shell of negligible thickness of mass $\frac{2M}{3}$ and a point mass $\frac{M}{3}$ at the centre. The change in the force of gravity experienced by the man is:
