MCQ
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:
  • A
    The solid sphere.
  • B
    The hollow sphere.
  • C
    The disc.
  • D
    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.
