$A$ hemisphere of mass $3m$ and radius $R$ is free to slide with its base on a smooth horizontal table. $A$ particle of mass $m$ is placed on the top of the hemisphere. If the particle is displaced with a negligible velocity,find the angular velocity of the particle relative to the centre of the hemisphere at an angular displacement $\theta$,when the velocity of the hemisphere is $v$.
