Answer:
Explanation:
Between two spheres of equal masses having equal radius , the one which is hollow will have less moment of inertia and therefore less radius of gyration ( k )
When they are allowed to roll over an inclined plane , they will have acceleration as follows
a = gsinθ / ( 1 + k²/r²)
For hollow sphere , k is less . therefore denominator is less and acceleration is more.
in other words , hollow sphere will have greater acceleration . So it will reach the bottom of an inclined surface in lesser time if allowed to roll over it .
This is how we can identify a hollow sphere without breaking it open .
