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?
Time period of a simple pendulum on the Earth would decrease.
Walking on the ground would become more difficult.
Raindrops will fall faster.
āgā on the Earth will not change.
To analyze the effects of the given changes, we need to consider how the gravitational force and acceleration due to gravity are affected.The gravitational force between two masses and is given by:where is the universal gravitational constant, and is the distance between the masses.The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is given by:where is the mass of the Earth, and is the radius of the Earth.If the mass of the Sun were ten times smaller, it would not directly affect on the Earth,since depends on the mass of the Earth, not the Sun.If were ten times larger, would become ten times larger, since:Now, let's evaluate each option:Option 1: Time period of a simple pendulum on the Earth would decrease.The time period of a simple pendulum is given by:If increases, decreases. Thus, this statement is correct.Option 2: Walking on the ground would become more difficult.With increased the normal force increases, making walking more difficult.Thus, this statement is correct.Option 3: Raindrops will fall faster.With increased the acceleration of raindrops increases, making them fall faster.Thus, this statement is correct.Option 4: āgā on the Earth will not change.This is incorrect because would increase tenfold due to the increase in Therefore, the statement that is not correct is Option 4.
