If the value of g suddenly becomes twice...

If the value of g suddenly becomes twice its value , it will become two times more difficult to pull a heavy object along the floor . Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The weight of an object is defined as the force with which the earth attracts the object. It is given as ,
W=F=mg
(ii) The weight of an object depends on the mass of the object and the value of acceleration due to gravity
(iii) If the value of g doubles , the force with which the earth attracts the object also becomes twice.
(iv) Thus, the object becomes twice as heavier making it harder to be pulled along the floor .
