You're taking part in a cheese-wheel-rolling-down-a-hill competition. These two cheese wheels have the same radius and length, but the one on the right has been hollowed out and has about 1/3 the mass of the one on the left. Assume all cheese wheels have sufficient structural integrity to reach the bottom of the hill without falling apart. Decide which of the two given cheese wheels you will use to have the best chance of winning, and explain your decision using physics principles (consider both the torque applied by the weight about the pivot point, which is the contact point with the ground, and the moment of inertia of the shape). r You're taking part in a cheese-wheel-rolling-down-a-hill competition.
