Description:
|
A cylinder
will roll down the inclined plane (created by the two "v" shaped
tracks), as expected. However, the double cone will roll up! Actually,
this is an optical illusion; the double cone shape allows center of mass
to roll downhill since the two arms get wider as the incline increases.
