Measuring speed of falling object

No it wouldn't. The air resistance would be the same for a same size ping pong ball no matter what weight difference. Didn't Sir Isaac Newton demonstrate that weight is not a factor in a falling object?

I'm very surprised to see that from you retrolefty. Sir Isaac Newton's experiment only works when the effects of air resistance can be ignored. If you drop a feather and a cannon ball, the feather falls more slowly.

Well I'm very surprised at you, don't two ping pong balls have the same wind resistance even if one is hollow and the other filled with water? Read the actual experiment the OP is proposing.
