$A$ solid sphere and a disc of the same radius are released from the same height on an inclined plane and they reach the bottom of the plane at different times. This is due to their:

  • A
    Different radii of gyration
  • B
    Different shapes
  • C
    Different moments of inertia
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(c)$

Two thin circular discs of mass $m$ and $4m$,having radii of $a$ and $2a$,respectively,are rigidly fixed by a massless,rigid rod of length $l=\sqrt{24}a$ through their centers. This assembly is laid on a firm and flat surface,and set rolling without slipping on the surface so that the angular speed about the axis of the rod is $\omega$. The angular momentum of the entire assembly about the point $O$ is $\vec{L}$ (see the figure). Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true?
$(A)$ The center of mass of the assembly rotates about the $z$-axis with an angular speed of $\omega/5$
