04.38: A small point-like object is pulled downwards by gravity (down the
c+vhy ;u uj4/h3b1h6uz b dqd;plane of the page) but is constrained to exactly follow each of the frictionless pathways
h6jqdhb u+ 4 ;h3;b/1yzudv cu shown. Rank these three paths from shortest to longest in terms of the amount of time (T) necessary for the object to be released from rest at point A and travel to point B. Assume that in changing direction that there is no loss of energy and that it takes negligible time.
