If a metallic ball A of mass 1kg is falling freely from a building of 200m height takes 5sec to reach the ground. If another metallic ball B of 20kg mass is dropped from the same building. How much time(in sec) will the ball B takes to reach the ground ?

The earth's gravitational force over an falling object depends on the mass of the object and the mass of earth minus the mass of the object. As the mass of the object is very small compared to earth's one, in a simple problem it's neglectible, so we can say that the gravitational force over an falling object is independent of it's mass. To take the final conclusion the other thing we should consider is that the object is ponctual so the air resistance don't take part in our problem. Finally, considering this aproximations, the balls will fall at the same time.
