Question

The following objects are released from rest and allowed to roll down an inclined plane. Rank the objects by the order of which they will arrive at the bottom of the incline. (1 = the first to arrive, 2 = the second, etc.)
I = 1326 kg*m^2, M = 42 kg, R = 1.5 m
I = 3173 kg*m^2, M = 29 kg, R = 13.9 m
I = 2459 kg*m^2, M = 30 kg, R = 18.6 m
I = 1840 kg*m^2, M = 40 kg, R = 4.7 m
I = 3315 kg*m^2, M = 46 kg, R = 2.9 m
I = 4975 kg*m^2, M = 49 kg, R = 17.3 m
I = 1279 kg*m^2, M = 50 kg, R = 6.8 m
I = 3760 kg*m^2, M = 23 kg, R = 0.8 m

Explanation / Answer

smallest I/MR^2 will reach the bottom fastest so calculate accordingly
