Your professor has put 5 objects near the top of an inclined plane: a uniformdensity solid sphere, a hollow sphere, a hollow cylinder, a special solid cylinder in which the density is proportional to the radius (ρ(r) =αr), and a solid cube. The spheres and cylinders have radius R and will roll down the plane, while the cube has sides of length 2R and a frictionless coating,so it will slide down the plane. All objects are released at the same time. Which is the last to get to the bottom of the plane?   a) solid sphere b) hollow sphere c) hollow cylinder d) solid cylinder e) frictionless cube
