The release of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), with it's 44599 galaxies allows the deduction of the galaxy's masses in nearly complete sample. A cubic box with side of 37 Mpc containing 2429 galaxies is extracted and the Newtonian gravitational field is evaluated both at the center of the box as well in 101 x 101 x 101 grid points of the box. The obtained results are then discussed at the light of the shell theorem which states that at the internal of a sphere the gravitational field is zero.
