The Attempt at a Solution
I think if I can locate the instantaneous axis of rotation ,then may be motion/velocity of CM could be determined . In the attached figure I have marked the two points A and B which are instantaneously at rest .The black arrows depict their respective velocities w.r.t CM .
Now consider point A . If it is instantaneously at rest ,then ##V_{CM}## has to be along the green vector .Similarly If we consider point B , then ##V_{CM}## should be along the red vector .
But that is a contradiction . I am not very sure if this is the right way to approach this problem .
I would be grateful if somebody could help me with the problem .
