Question

What kind of forces would follow only the second part of shell theorem? General expression of a force which would cancel out inside a uniform hollow shell. What about any closed surface?

I don't think that there is a general expression but most of the $1/r^2$ proportional following forces are cancelling in a sphere and for electrostatic force they can be cancelled inside any closed conductor where charges can redistribute.
