$A$ wheel of radius $r$ is rolling on a straight line,with the velocity of its centre being $v$. At a certain instant,the point of contact of the wheel with the ground is $M$ and $N$ is the highest point on the wheel (diametrically opposite to $M$). Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  • A
    The velocity of any point $P$ of the wheel is proportional to $MP$.
  • B
    Points of the wheel moving with velocity greater than $v$ form a larger area of the wheel than points moving with velocity less than $v$.
  • C
    The point of contact $M$ is instantaneously at rest.
  • D
    The velocities of any two parts of the wheel which are equidistant from the centre are equal.
