Problem

A solid cylinder of mass 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} and radius 0.20 m0.20\,\text{m} and a thin hoop of mass 1.0 kg1.0\,\text{kg} and the same radius start from rest at the top of a 1.5 m1.5\,\text{m}-high ramp and roll without slipping down the incline. Using g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2, calculate the speed of each object at the bottom and state which arrives first.
