Detailed Solution

When the rod rotates through angle θ, the fall h of center of gravity is given by θ 
h=L2(1cosθ)
Decrease in potential energy 
=Mgh=mgL2(1cosθ)
Now, KE of rotation =122
=12×ML23ω2 
I=ML2/3(because rod is rotating about an axis passing through its one end)
According to law of conservation of energy, decrease in potential energy will be equal to gain in kinetic energy.
MgL2(1cosθ)=ML26ω2ω=3gL(1cosθ)=6gLsinθ2
