You could wrap the rope around the cylinder. Then you hold on to one end of the rope and let the cylinder go and unwrap. The hollow cylinder will take longer to unwrap compared to the solid one, because of its larger inertia.

One can be able to determine the metal cylinders based on the time taken to unwrap them.

From the information given, there are two identical-looking metal cylinders and a long rope and the cylinders have the same size, shape, and weight.

One can be able to differentiate then by using only the rope and the two cylinders by wrapping the rope around the cylinder. The hollow cylinder will take longer to wrap when compared to the solid one.
