A ladder of length 5m inclined to a vertical wall is slipping over a horizontal surface with velocity of 2m/s when A is at distance 3m from ground.What is the velocity of COM at this moment?

Instant axis of rot is at (3,4)
ω=1/2 (is finding ω clear?)
COM is at (3/2,4/2) and axis of rot at (3,4) ω=1/2..
velocity of COM = ω√(9/4+16/4)=5/4 and is pependicular to line joining (3,4) and (3/2,4/2)
