    Two spheres of unequal mass but same radius are released on inclined plane. They rolls down with slipping. Which one will reach the ground first?

    A)  Lighter sphere

    B)  Heavier sphere

    C)  Both will reach at the same time

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Time of descend on an inclined plane \[{{T}_{r}}=\frac{1}{\sin \theta }\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}\left( 1+\frac{{{k}^{2}}}{{{R}^{2}}} \right)}\] which is independent of mass and radius of the two spheres. Hence, both the spheres will reach the ground at the same time. Alternative Acceleration of a body on an inclined plane \[a=\frac{g\,\,\sin \theta }{1+\frac{{{K}^{2}}}{R{{}^{2}}}}\] For both spheres, \[\frac{{{K}^{2}}}{{{R}^{2}}}=1\] Therefore, acceleration of both spheres are same, hence they will reach at the same time
