A bar of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving due to the force

Question:

A bar of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving due to the force F = mg/3 of constant magnitude. In the process of its rectilinear motion the angle α between the direction of this force and the horizontal varies as α = as, where α is a constant, and s is the distance traversed by the bar from its initial position. Find the velocity of the bar as a function of the angle α.
