A scale of uniform mass M=3 kgM=3 \mathrm{~kg} of length L=4 mL=4 \mathrm{~m} is kept on a rough table (infinite friction) with l=1 ml=1 \mathrm{~m} hanging out of the table as shown in the figure below. A small ball of mass m=1 kgm=1 \mathrm{~kg} is released from rest from a height of h=5 mh=5 \mathrm{~m} above the end of the scale. Find the maximum angle (in degrees) that the scale rotates by in the subsequent motion if ball sticks to the scale after collision.
