When a stone of mass 50 kg and another of mass 5 kg fall down simultaneously form the top of a five storey building, which one will reach the ground first?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
They reaches the ground at the same time.
Reason: Acceleration due to gravity does not depend on the mass of the body. It will be the same for all GM bodies falling to the earth. `g=GM/R^2`
