$A$ rod of length $L$ is held vertically on a smooth horizontal surface. The top end of the rod is given a gentle push. At a certain instant of time,when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,the velocity of the $COM$ of the rod is $v_0$. The velocity of the end of the rod in contact with the surface at that instant is:

  • A
    $v_0 \cot \theta$
  • B
    $v_0 \cos \theta$
  • C
    $v_0 \sin \theta$
  • D
    $v_0 \tan \theta$
