The potential energy of a particle of mass $m$ at a distance $r$ from a fixed point $O$ is given by $V(r) = kr^2 / 2$,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?
$(A)$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{2m}} R$
$(B)$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} R$
$(C)$ $L = \sqrt{mk} R^2$
$(D)$ $L = \sqrt{\frac{mk}{2}} R^2$

$A$ uniformly thick wheel with moment of inertia $I$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its centre of mass (see fig). $A$ massless string is wrapped over its rim and two blocks of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ $(m_{1} > m_{2})$ are attached to the ends of the string. The system is released from rest. The angular speed of the wheel when $m_{1}$ descends by a distance $h$ is

Consider two masses with $m_1 > m_2$ connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a pulley of radius $R$ and moment of inertia $I$ about its axis of rotation. The string does not slip on the pulley and the pulley turns without friction. The two masses are released from rest separated by a vertical distance $2h$. When the two masses pass each other,the speed of the masses is proportional to
