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 shown in the figure. The wheel rolls without slipping on horizontal ground with angular speed \( \Omega \). If \( \vec{L} \) is the total angular momentum of the wheel about \( O \), then the magnitude \( \left| \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} \right| = N(MR^2 \Omega^2) \). The value of \( N \) (in integer) is:

- An electron with mass \( m \) and charge \( q \) is in the spin up state \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \] at time \( t = 0 \). A constant magnetic field is applied along the \( y \)-axis, \( \mathbf{B} = B_0 \hat{j} \), where \( B_0 \) is a constant. The Hamiltonian of the system is \[ H = -\hbar \omega \sigma_y, \quad \text{where} \quad \omega = \frac{q B_0}{2m} < 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \sigma_y = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -i \\ i & 0 \end{pmatrix}. \]
