MCQ
Two uniform solid spheres having unequal masses and unequal radii are released from rest from the same height on a rough incline. If the spheres roll without slipping,
  • A
    the heavier sphere reaches the bottom first
  • B
    the bigger sphere reaches the bottom first
  • the two spheres reach the bottom together
  • D
    the information given is not sufficient to tell which sphere will reach the bottom first.

Answer

Correct option: C.
the two spheres reach the bottom together
c
(c)

Since acceleration of a body during rolling without slipping, on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$ is given by

$a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{K^2}{R^2}}$, where $K$ is radius of gyration.

For solid sphere, $\frac{ K ^2}{ R ^2}=\frac{2}{5}$

Thus, $a=\frac{5}{7} g \sin \theta$

So, acceleration is independent of both mass and radius. Both spheres will reach bottom together.
