A block of mass 
1 kg slides with velocity v = 6m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about O and swings as a result of the collision making angle θ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass M = 2kg and length I = lm, the value of θ is approximately (take g = 10m/s²)
