In the given arrangement, the rod is free to rotate about the hinge and it is in constant contact with the equilateral triangular block of base length $\frac{2 a}{\sqrt{3}}$ . If the block is moving horizontally with a speed $v = 20 {ms}^{- 1}$ , then find the magnitude of the angular velocity of the rod (in $rad . s^{- 1}$ ) at the instant when $θ = 30^{o} .$ [Given that $a = 1 m$ ]
