    According to newtons 2nd law of motion,

    "The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object".

    F=mg

    Gravitational acceleration = g = F/m

    And we also know g always remains constant which is 9.8 m/s2.

    So if the mass of the objects varies, then Force exerted by earth change accordingly to constant the value of g.

    Hence gravitation acceleration / rate of fall will be the same for both heavier and a lighter object.

    As such, all objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity.
