Math Problem Statement
Four rigid bodies with identical masses M and radii r were made to roll without slipping from the same height on a quarter circle of radius R. All of them are moving horizontally as they leave the ramp. The spheres hit the ground at the same time t. If L is the range reached by the rigid bodies, which of the following is the correct arrangement of the rigid bodies in terms of increasing L? The options are:
1. III, I, IV, II
2. II, IV, I, III
3. IV, II, III, I
4. I, II, III, IV.
