$A$ solid sphere and a solid cylinder of identical radii approach an incline with the same linear velocity (see figure). Both roll without slipping throughout the motion. The two climb maximum heights $h_{sph}$ and $h_{cyl}$ on the incline. The ratio $\frac{h_{sph}}{h_{cyl}}$ is given by

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • D
    $\frac{14}{15}$
