    Rolling and Torque    Two spheres of the same mass are positioned on a 100 meter ramp with at 20 degree incline. Both spheres have a radius or 5 m and mass of 1000 kg (HUGE SPHERES, think Indiana Jones). The difference is how the mass is distributed. One sphere is completely solid with mass equally distributed throughout it. The second mass has all of its mass distributed at the edge of its radius in a thin shell. So, one...
