Question
A spherical shell and a uniform solid sphere roll down the same inclined plane. Compare their accelerations.

Answer

The ratio of the accelerations, in the usual notation,
$
\frac{a_{\text {shell }}}{a_{\text {sphere }}}=\frac{\frac{3}{5} g \sin \theta}{\frac{5}{7} g \sin \theta}=\frac{21}{25}=0.84
$
