The reasoning is wrong if we look into Newton's Law of gravitation.

Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

The law is written as follows;

$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }$

The distance between the two particles, is a function of force and their masses not necessarily time of motion.

In the given problem only time of motion was considered which is wrong.

Thus, the reasoning is wrong if we look into Newton's Law of gravitation.

Answer:

its speed will be less than V

Explanation:

When the ball falls a distance d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum equals its initial potential energy.

K = U

With its speed V at the end of d, we have

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd where I = rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω = angular speed of drum and balls and m = mass of box

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd

1/2mV² = mgd - 1/2Iω²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

V = √[2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

When the four balls are moved inward closer to the drum, their rotational inertia increases and also its angular speed which thus causes an increase in rotational kinetic energy. But, since the box still falls the same distance of d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum plus balls still equals its initial potential energy

K = U

I' = new rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω' = new angular speed of drum and balls

With its new speed is now V' at the end of d,

1/2mV'² + 1/2I'ω'² = mgd

1/2mV'² = mgd - 1/2I'ω'²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

V' = √[2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

Since I' and ω' increase, the rotational kinetic energy of the drum and balls (1/2I'ω'²) increases. Thus, the difference (mgd - 1/2I'ω'²) < (mgd - 1/2Iω²) which implies that the kinetic energy of the box decreases. Hence, since its kinetic energy decreases, its speed V' also decreases.

So, V' < V

So, its speed will be less than V.
