A solid sphere, disc, and solid cylinder all of the same mass and made up of the same material are allowed to roll down (from rest) on an inclined plane, then:
solid sphere reaches the bottom first.
solid sphere reaches the bottom late.
the disc will reach the bottom first.
all of them reach the bottom at the same time.
The acceleration of a rigid body rolling down an inclined plane without slipping is given by , where is the radius of gyration. The ratio for the given bodies are:
