Question

A disk and a sphere of same radius but different masses roll off on two inclined planes of the same altitude and length. Which one of the two objects gets to the bottom of the plane first?
  1. Disk
  2. Sphere
  3. Both reach at the same time
  4. Depends on their masses

A
Depends on their masses
B
Both reach at the same time
C
Sphere
D
Disk
Solution
Verified by Toppr

a=g sinθ1+K2R2

For disc: K2R2=12=0.5

For sphere: K2R2=25=0.4

Since, a(sphere) > a(disc) Sphere will reach first
