Q. From an inclined plane a sphere, a disc, a ring and a spherical shell are rolled without slipping. The order of their reaching at the base will be
A) Ring, shell, disc, sphere
B) Shell, sphere, disc, ring
C) Sphere, disc, shell, ring
D) Ring, sphere, disc, shell
Explanation
(c) $I_{Sphere} < I_{Disc} < I_{Shell} < I_{Ring}$
We know that body possessing minimum moment of inertia will reach the bottom first and the body possessing maximum moment of inertia will reach the bottom at last
