One end of a rod of length L=1 m is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius R=13 m. The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the center O of the wheel as shown in the figure below. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity ω (in radian per second) about O.

A solid cube of wood of side 2a and mass M is resting on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The cube is free to rotate about a fixed axis AB. A bullet of mass m(<<M) and speed v is shot horizontally at the face opposite to ABCD at a height of 4a3 from the surface to impart the cube and angular speed ω. It strikes the face and embeds in the cube. Then ω is close to (note: the moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the center of mass is 2Ma23.)
