Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Hoop, Uniform Solid Cylinder, Spherical shell and a uniform Solid sphere released from Rest from same height

Suppose they have same mass and radius

time Period is given by


t=\sqrt{(2h)/(a)} ,where h=height of release

a=acceleration


a=(g\sin \theta )/(1+(I)/(mr^2))

Where I=moment of inertia

a for hoop


a=(g\sin \theta )/(1+(mr^2)/(mr^2))


a=(g\sin \theta )/(2)

a for Uniform solid cylinder


a=(g\sin \theta )/(1+(mr^2)/(2mr^2))


a=(2g\sin \theta )/(3)

a for spherical shell


a=(g\sin \theta )/(1+(2mr^2)/(3mr^2))


a=(3g\sin \theta )/(5)

a for Uniform Solid


a=(g\sin \theta )/(1+(2mr^2)/(5mr^2))


a=(5g\sin \theta )/(7)

time taken will be inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration


t_1=k√(2)=1.414k


t_2=k\sqrt{(3)/(2)}=1.224k


t_3=k\sqrt{(5)/(3)}=1.2909k


t_4=k\sqrt{(7)/(5)}=1.183k

thus first one to reach is Solid Sphere

second is Uniform solid cylinder

third is Spherical Shell

Fourth is hoop
