characteristic time that would take a body to collapse under its own gravitational attraction, if no other forces existed to oppose the collapse

Defining Formula: $t(y)\equiv \sqrt{\frac{{y_0}^3}{2G(m+M)}}(\sqrt{\frac{y}{y_0}(1-\frac{y}{y_0})}+\arccos \sqrt{\frac{y}{y_0}})$

$M$ symbol represents earth mass

$m$ symbol represents free fall mass

$y$ symbol represents free fall height

$y_0$ symbol represents free fall initial height

$G$ symbol represents gravitational constant

$t$ symbol represents free fall time
