All edges of the triangular pyramid $ABCD$ are equal in length. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $DB$, $N$ is the point on $\overline{AB}$, such that $2NA=NB$ and $N\not\in AB$ and $P$ is a point on the altitude through point $D$ in $\triangle BCD$. Find $\angle MPD$ if the intersection of the pyramid with the plane $(NMP)$ is a trapezoid.
