Dropping a Ball - Earth/Moon

It takes 2.1 sec for a small ball released from rest from a tall building to reach the ground. The mass of the ball is 0.04 kg. Calculate the height (in m) from which the ball is released. (Neglect air resistance.)

If that ball had been released from the same height, but this time, near the surface of the moon, how long (in seconds) would it have taken for the ball to hit the surface of the moon? The magnitude of the acceleration of gravity near the moon surface is 1.67 m/s2.
