The potential energy of a particle of mass m at a distance r from a fixed point O is given by V(r)=kr2/2, 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?

Statement-I: Two cylinders, one hollow (metal) and the other solid (wood), with the same mass and identical dimensions, are simultaneously allowed to roll without slipping down an inclined plane from the same height. The hollow cylinder will reach the bottom of the inclined plane first.

and

Statement-2: By the principle of conservation of energy, the total kinetic energies of both the cylinders are identical when they reach the bottom of the incline.

A thin uniform rod, pivoted at O, is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed ω, as shown in the figure. At times, t=0, a small insect starts from O and moves with a constant speed v with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at t=T and stops. The angular speed of the system remains ω throughout. The magnitude of the torque τ on the system about O, as a function of time, is best represented by which plot?
