The tennis ball would be the first to strike the ground.
Explanation:
- There is no edge that runs straight down to the street from the Empire State Building's observation decks. Dropping denotes a downward movement.
- Throwing a 100-pound sphere far enough would require some effort, but rolling it off a level surface quickly enough might not be too difficult. The main component of the tower is set back from the street due to zoning laws at the time of construction, thus the large ball dropped from the top would hit the roof of a lower piece of the building.
- The tennis ball would be pushed far enough away from the top by the strong winds to reach the earth.
- It may even need to be blasted from the roof of a different building or two closer to the bottom, but it will have a better chance of reaching the ground.
