The figure shows a system consisting of $(i)$ a ring of outer radius $3R$ rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed $\omega$ and $(ii)$ an inner disc of radius $2R$ rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed $\omega/2$. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The system is in the $x-z$ plane. The point $P$ on the inner disc is at distance $R$ from the origin,where $OP$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,
$(A)$ the point $O$ has linear velocity $3R\omega\hat{i}$.
$(B)$ the point $P$ has a linear velocity $\frac{11}{4}R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(C)$ the point $P$ has linear velocity $\frac{13}{4}R\omega\hat{i} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(D)$ The point $P$ has a linear velocity $(3 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{1}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.

If the earth suddenly stops revolving and all its rotational $KE$ is used up in raising its temperature and if $s$ is taken to be the specific heat of the earth's material,the rise of temperature of the earth will be: ($R =$ radius of the earth and $\omega =$ its angular velocity,$J =$ Joule's constant)
