$A$ solid sphere and a solid cylinder, each of mass $M$ and radius $R$, are rolling with a linear speed $v$ on a flat surface without slipping. Let $L_1$ be the magnitude of the angular momentum of the sphere with respect to a fixed point $O$ on the surface along the path of the sphere. Likewise, let $L_2$ be the magnitude of the angular momentum of the cylinder with respect to the same fixed point $O$ along its path. The ratio $\frac{L_1}{L_2}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{14}{15}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{7}{15}$
