  How was Galileo able to conclude that the acceleration of an object falling freely towards the earth does not depend on the mass of the object?

Answer:

                  Galileo climbed to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in the presence of a large gathering and dropped spheres of different masses and materials from the top simultaneously. All the spheres reached the earth's surface at the same time. So, he concluded that the acceleration of an object falling freely towards the earth does not depend on the mass of the object.                                                                       (1+1)
