A uniform flag pole of length `L `and mass `M` in pivoted on the ground with a frictionless hinge. The flag pole makes an angle `theta` with the horizontal. The moment of inertia of the flag pole about one end is `(1//3) ML^(2)`. If starts falling from the position shown in figure, the linear acceleration of the free end of the flag pole-labeled `P` - would be.
