$A$ solid cube of wood of side $2a$ and mass $M$ is resting on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The cube is free to rotate about a fixed axis $AB$. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ $(m << M)$ and speed $v$ is shot horizontally at the face opposite to $ABCD$ at a height of $4a/3$ from the surface to impart the cube an angular speed $\omega$. It strikes the face and embeds in the cube. Then,$\omega$ is close to (Note: The moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the centre of mass is $2Ma^2/3$).
