Question
A solid sphere, a hollow sphere and a disc, all having same mass and radius, are placed at the top of a smooth incline and released. Least time will be taken in reaching the bottom by:
  1. The solid sphere.
  2. The hollow sphere.
  3. The disc.
  4. All will take same time.

Answer

  1. All will take same time.

Explanation:

The incline is smooth; therefore, all bodies will slip on the incline. Also, as the mass of bodies is same, they will reach the bottom in equal time.
