Question: ( 3 5 points ) . We have three objects all with mass m and radius r ( but from different material ) . One

(35 points). We have three objects all with mass m and radius r(but from different material). One is a (solid) uniform sphere: S with IS=0.4mr2, one is a uniform (solid) cylinder C , with IC=0.5mr2 and the last one a thin pipe P with IP=mr2. The surfaces are smooth so that there is no friction between the objects if they touch but there are placed on a relatively rough surface which will allow rolling but NO slipping.
a.5 pts Draw a set of free body diagrams for one of the three (you pick), if it were placed on the surface alone.
b.15 pts If placed on the incline one at a time, what would be the acceleration of each down the incline? Answers in terms of g and sin.
c.5 pts Suppose we release them together in the arrangement/order shown below. Do they separate? Justify your answer briefly. Do you need to modify the free-body diagrams for any of them (from part a)? IF so, show the modified ones.
d.10 pts Now suppose we release them with the positions of pipe and cylinder switched (from the arrangement shown in the figure). Do they separate? Do you need to modify the free-body diagrams of any of them (from part a)? IF so, show the modified ones.
