Dear student,

The meter scale could be at rest when reaching at the top to just complete the circle, unlike the case of ball tied to a string.
So the whole rotational kinetic energy of the ruler would go into the gain in gravitational potential energy.

If the horizontal speed of end of the ruler of lengthlisv, angular velocity of the same will be\omega=\dfrac{v}{l}.

From conservation of energy,

\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2=mg(\dfrac{l}{2}+\dfrac{l}{2})
\implies \dfrac{1}{2}(m\dfrac{l^2}{3})\omega^2=mg(\dfrac{l}{2}+\dfrac{l}{2})
\implies v=\omega l=\sqrt{6gl}
