Two spherical bobs, one metallic and the...

Two spherical bobs, one metallic and the other of glass, of the same size are allowed to fall freely from the same height above the ground. Which of the two would reach earlier and why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Glass, because
In glass, there is no effect of electromagnetic induction, due to presence of the Earth.s magnetic field, unlike in the case of metallic bob.
