Let (p, q) and (P, Q) be two pairs of canonical variables. The transformation Q = q^α cos βp, P = q^α sin βp is canonical for

A mass m is constrained to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is set in circular motion with radius r₀ and angular speed ω₀ by an applied force $$\overrightarrow {\bf{F}} $$ communicated through an inextensible thread that passesthrough a hole on the surface as shown in figure given below. Then, this force is suddenly doubled.

B. decreases till mass falls into hole

C. remains constant

D. becomes zero at radius r₁, where 0 < r₁ < r₀
