Problem P. 4339. (April 2011)

P. 4339. Similar rubber bungs are stick together as shown in the figure. The bodies are placed to a pair of rails, which encloses a small angle with the horizontal. The distance between the rails is equal to the height of the original bungs. We experience with a surprise that one of the bodies always reach the bottom of the slope, and the other always gets derailed. Which one? (The bodies roll without sliding.)

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A síneken gördülő bal oldali gumidugópár mozgása stabil, a jobb oldali ábrán láthatóé pedig instabil. A különbséget a gördülési körök eltérő kerülete okozza.
