$A$ bob of mass $m$ attached to an inextensible string of length $l$ is suspended from a vertical support. The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed $\omega \text{ rad/s}$ about the vertical axis. About the point of suspension:

The position vector of a particle of mass $m$ moving with a constant velocity $\vec{v} = v \hat{i}$ is given by $\vec{r} = x(t) \hat{i} + b \hat{j}$, where $b$ is a constant. At an instant, $\vec{r}$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis. The variation of the magnitude of the angular momentum $|\vec{L}|$ of the particle about the origin with $\theta$ will be:
