A solid sphere and a block starting from rest at the top of identical inclines.
A solid sphere and a block starting from rest at the top of identical inclines.
A solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is released from rest at the top of an incline of height \(H\) and rolls without slipping to the bottom. A block of mass \(M\) is released from rest at the top of an identical incline that is frictionless and slides to the bottom. If the translational speeds of the sphere and the block at the bottom of the incline are \(v_{sphere}\) and \(v_{block}\), respectively, what is the ratio \(\dfrac{v_{sphere}}{v_{block}}\)?
