One end of a rod of length $L=1 \,m$ is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius $R=1 / \sqrt{3} \,m$. The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the centre $O$ of the wheel as shown in the figure below. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ about $O$. The speed of the sliding end $P$, when $\theta=60^{\circ}$ is
