1CONSIDER WALL AS +Y AXIS & GROUND AS X AXIS
AS LENGTH OF LADDER IS CONSTANT
x^2+y^2=l^2
differentiate with respect to time
2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}=0
2xv_{x}+2yv_{y}=0
xv_{x}+yv_{y}=0
again differentiate w.r.t time
xa_{x}+ya_{y}+v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2=0
from this eqn find accelerations of both ends
after finding acceleration find their components perpendicular to rod

anyways look at this also..

same soln tho...
1my calculation give angular acceleration \alpha =\frac{4}{26-9\sqrt{3}}
