$A$ is a point on the circle with radius $8$ and centre at $O$. $A$ particle $P$ is moving on the circumference of the circle starting from $A$. $M$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ on $OA$ and $\angle POM = \theta$. When $OM = 4$ and $\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 6 \text{ radians/sec}$,then the rate of change of $PM$ is (in units/sec)
