उत्तर
Both the stones reach the bottom with the same speed and stone II reaches the bottom earlier than stone I.
Explanation:
As seen in the diagrams, AB and AC are two smooth planes inclined at the angles θ1 and θ2, respectively.
Because there is no friction here, mechanical energy will be preserved.
Because both tracks have the same height h,
`1/2 mv^2 = mg`
`hv = sqrt(2gh)`
Hence, speed is the same for both stones. For stone I, a1 = acceleration along the inclined plane = g sin θ1
Similarly, for stone II, a2 = g sin θ2
And because track II is shorter in length, stone II arrives earlier than stone I.
