The Mariana Trench is 11,033 meters (36,201 feet), (6033.5) fathoms deep, so the accelerator principle as regards gravity will be slower, so quite a while, I guess at a terminal speed of 160mph ( allowing for any drag ), over a distance of 6.8 miles, well it’s somewhere to start your calculations from. I’m referring to a metal object by the way.
