STATEMENT - 1 :
Two cylinders, one hollow (metal) and the other solid (wood) with the same mass and identical dimensions are simultaneously allowed to roll without slipping down an inclined plane from the same height. The hollow cylinder will reach the bottom of the inclined plane first.
and
STATEMENT - 2 :
By the principle of conservation of energy, the total kinetic energies of both the cylinders are identical when they reach the bottom of the incline.
A small object of uniform density rolls up a curved surface with an initial velocity $$v$$. It reaches up to a maximum height of $$\frac{3 v^{2}}{4 g}$$ with respect to the initial position. The object is

STATEMENT 1
If there is no external torque on a body about its center of mass, then the velocity of the center of mass remains constant.
Because
STATEMENT 2
The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.
Two discs $A$ and $B$ are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moment of inertia $I$ and $2 I$ 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.
The ratio $${{{x_1}} \over {{x_2}}}$$ is
