Two uniform solid spheres having unequal radii are released from rest from the same height on a rough incline. If the spheres roll without slipping

A

The heavier sphere reaches the bottom first

B

The bigger sphere reaches the bottom first

C

The two spheres reach the bottom together

D

The information given is not sufficient to tell which sphere will reach the bottom first

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`a=(gsintheta)/(1+(K^(2))/(R^(2))),` For any sphere `(K^(2))/(R^(2))=2/5`
So, acceleration is independent of mass of radius.
