$A$ solid sphere $(A)$ of mass $5m$ and a spherical shell $(B)$ of mass $m$, both having the same radius $R$, are placed on a rough surface. When a force $F$ of the same magnitude is applied tangentially at the highest points of $A$ and $B$, they start rolling without slipping with accelerations $a_A$ and $a_B$, respectively. The ratio of $a_A$ to $a_B$ is . . . . . . .

Two discs $A$ and $B$ are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia $I$ and $2I$ respectively about the common axis. Disc $A$ is imparted an initial angular velocity $2\omega$ using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance $x_1$. Disc $B$ is imparted an angular velocity $\omega$ by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance $x_2$. Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction.
