Frictional Force on Rolling Objects
A hollow cylinder and a solid cylinder, both with identical mass and radius, are released from rest at the same height on an inclined plane. Both objects roll without slipping. Which of the following statements correctly compares the force of static friction acting on each cylinder?
A
The solid cylinder requires no friction to maintain rolling motion
B
The hollow cylinder experiences greater energy loss due to friction
C
Both experience different frictional forces but no energy dissipation
D
Both experience identical frictional forces
