24. On a plane, a massless long rod connects two point masses M₁=2.2 (kg) and M₂=3.1 (kg) at its ends, with a fixed axis of rotation as shown in Figure 9, where R₁=0.37(m) and R₂=0.24(m). The axis is perpendicular to the plane of the page. A bullet of mass m=0.2(kg) traveling at a velocity v=15(m/s) perpendicularly strikes M₁ and embeds itself in M₁, causing the rod to rotate about the axis. Calculate the angular velocity.
