Great Fall?

Classical Mechanics Level 2

If we drop Einstein ( E ) and a Piano ( P ) both from the same height, neglecting drag. What is the end result? To consider P is many times massive than E .

Both P & E experience the same gravitational force and fall at the same time E experiences more gravirtational force but both fall at the same time P experiences more gravitational force and P falls first P experiences more gravitatonal force but both fall at the same time

Force

Where

m1 = Mass of the Earth

m2 = Mass of the object

Acceleration due to gravity is

From the formulas it is quite clear that the force acting on a body will change with the mass of the object and Acceleration will not change with objects mass since m2 is absent in the equation. So we can say that the force acting on the Heavier object (P) is more, and both the objects have the same acceleration they will reach the ground simultaneously.
