$A$ bar of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving due to force $|\vec{F}|=\frac{mg}{9}$. The magnitude of the force remains constant with time. The force vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal which varies with the distance covered as $\theta= Cx$. If the constant $C=10 \text{ degree/meter}$, then the speed of the bar, when $\theta$ becomes equal to $30^{\circ}$ for the first time, is (Assume $g = 10 \text{ m s}^{-2}$) (in $\text{ m s}^{-1}$)
