Consider three identical ramps with a height of 1 m. At the top of one ramp is a solid sphere. The second ramp has a hoop, and the third ramp has a solid cylinder. Assume each object has the same mass and radius. If the three objects are released simultaneously, in what order will they reach the end of their respective ramp? Rank them from first to last.
