If the mass of the sun were ten times smaller and the universal gravitational constant were ten times larger in magnitude, which of the following is not correct ?

A

Raindrops will fall faster.

B

Walking on the ground would become more difficult.

C

Time period of a simple pendulum on the Earth would decrease.

D

g on the Earth will not change.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

If universal Gravitational constant becomes ten times, then G.= 10 G.
So, acceleration due to gravity increases. i.e, (d) is wrong option.
