If the mass of sun were ten times smaller and gravitational constant G were ten times larger in magnitudes -
Given:
New gravitational constant G’ = 10G
Ms’ = Ms/10
Gravitational field due to earth is given by
![]()
Force on the man due to sun
![]()
Where r = distance between centre of sun and man
Since r≫R the effect due to sun can be neglected and the gravity pull will increase. Due to it, walking on the ground can be difficult
As the acceleration due to gravity g increases, the raindrops fall much faster than usual
Also, airplanes will have to travel much faster to overcome the increased gravitational pull of the earth
