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

As `m_s.=(m_s)/10` and `G.=10G`
`g_E=(G.M_E)/(R^2)=(10GM_E)/(R^2)=10g`
`therefore` Raindrops will fall faster, Walking on the ground would become more difficult, Time period of a simple pendulum on the earth decreases.
