Imagine a downhill race between four objects each of mass M. One object such as a skier (P) is best modeled as a particle (shown as a small flat object) translating down the hill. The other objects are modeled as a solid cylinder (C), hoop (H) and a solid sphere (S) each of radius R rolling down the hill without slipping. All four objects start from rest a t a height h. Assuming mechanical energy losses due to friction may be ignored, determine the order in which the objects cross the finish line. Use their letter designation: P, C, H and S and arrange them from first to last to arrive at the finish line.
