Dear student 
Let M is midpoint , and coordinate of midpoint is (x,y) 
x = L/2 CosQ 
y = L/2 SinQ 
Q is angle of inclination .
dx/dt = L/2 d(CosQ)/dt
dy/dt = L/2 d(SinQ)/dt 
d/dt(LcosQ) = 10
L(-sinQ)dQ/dt = 10 
-sinQ  dQ/dt = 10/100 = 00.1
dQ/dt = -0.1 CosecQ 
|Vm| = sqrt(Vmx^2 + Vmy^2) 
= L/2 (dQ/dt) 
50 *|-0.1CosecQ|
= 5CosecQ
= 5Cosec30 = 10 cm/sec
Good Luck
