If Galileo dropped a piece of burlap tied into a ball with twine and a 2-pound rock from the Leaning Tower of Pisa at the same time, he would have observed both objects hitting the ground simultaneously. This outcome aligns with his findings that, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. The burlap ball may have experienced more air resistance due to its shape, but in a vacuum, both would fall at the same acceleration due to gravity.
