When air from glass jar is sucked out and the experiment is repeated, both, the paper sheet and stone reach the bottom of glass jar simultaneously. This is because air resistance to motion does not exist and acceleration due to gravity acting on both is the same.
from this activity, we conclude that value of acceleraation due to gravity is independent of mass of the body.
