Question:

You have two identical-looking metal spheres of the same size and the same mass. One is solid; the other is hollow. If you place them on a ramp, the gravitational torques that make them roll down the slope are the same. But one sphere has a greater angular acceleration, so it reaches the bottom of the ramp first. Which one gets to the bottom of the ramp first, and why?
