if a ball, a solid cylinder, and a hollow pipe each with equal masses and radius are released simultaneously from an inclined plane, which will reach the bottom first?
i would say the pipe would reach the bottom first, because the rotational inertia of the pipe is greater than that of the other two. can anyone tell me if I'm correct? if not, how do i go about answering this question (if inertia has nothing to do with it)?
