The potential energy of a particle of mass $$m$$ at a distance $$r$$ from a fixed point $$O$$ is given by $$V\left( r \right) = k{r^2}/2,$$ where $$k$$ is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. This particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius $$R$$ about the point $$O$$. If $$v$$ is the speed of the particle and $$L$$ is the magnitude of its angular momentum about $$O,$$ which of the following statements is (are) true?

A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom of a fixed step of height R as shown in the figure. A constant force is continuously applied on the surface of the wheel so that it just climbs the step without slipping. Consider the torque $$\tau$$ about an axis normal to the plane of the paper passing through the point Q. Which of the following options is/are correct?

A rigid uniform bar AB of length L is slipping from its vertical position on a frictionless floor (as shown in the figure). At some instant of time, the angle made by the bar with the vertical is $$\theta$$. Which of the following statements about its motion is/are correct?

A block of mass $$M$$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block resets on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially the right edge of the block is at $$x=0,$$ in a co-ordinate system fixed to the table. A point mass $$m$$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down.

When the mass loses contact with the block, its position is $$x$$ and the velocity is $$v.$$ At that instant, which of the following options is/are correct?
