Imagine a cylindrical hollow tube made of copper. First, a metallic (but not magnetic) capsule of mass m is dropped as the tube is held vertical and it takes t1 seconds between the entrance and exit. Then, an identical but magnetized capsule of mass m and identical shape as the previous one is dropped into the tube as the previous one and it takes t2 seconds between the entrance and exit. What would happen if we had used an insulating tube instead? a) What is the relation between t1 and t2? (i.e., are they equal or if not, which one is greater than the other?)  b) Why? (Explain)

Question

 Imagine a cylindrical hollow tube made of copper. First, a metallic (but not magnetic) capsule of
mass m is dropped as the tube is held vertical and it takes t1 seconds between the entrance and exit.
Then, an identical but magnetized capsule of mass m and identical shape as the previous one is
dropped into the tube as the previous one and it takes t2 seconds between the entrance and exit.
What would happen if we had used an insulating tube instead?
a) What is the relation between t1 and t2? (i.e., are they equal or if not, which one is
greater than the other?) 
b) Why? (Explain)
