A wheel of mass 4M and radius R is made of a thin uniform distribution of mass
3M at the rim and a point mass M at the center . The spokes of the wheel are
massless. The center of mass of the wheel is connected to a horizontal massless rod
of length 2R, with one end fixed at O, as show n in the figure . The wheel rolls
without slipping on horizontal ground with angular speed Ω. If L⃗ is the total angular
momentum of the wheel about O, then the magnitude |
dL⃗
dt | = N(MR2Ω2). The
value of N (in integer) is ____
