JEE MainPhysicsModerateNewton's Laws of Motion

Slider block A moves to the right with constant velocity 6 m/s
in the arrangement as shown in the figure. C and D are points on the

string. If, and are the velocities of B, C and D respectively then,

choose

Show answer and solution
Clearly vC=6m/s↓v_{C} = 6m/s \downarrow
By string constraint,

–6+VB+VB+VB=0⇒VB=2m/s↓–6 + V_{B} + V_{B} + V_{B} = 0 \Rightarrow V_{B} = 2m/s \downarrow
Also,
VC+VD2=VB\frac{V_{C} + V_{D}}{2} = V_{B}
⇒VD=−2m/s\Rightarrow V_{D} = - 2m/s
∴VD=2m/s↑\therefore V_{D} = 2m/s \uparrow
∣VC→−VD→∣=6+2=8m/s|\overset{\rightarrow}{V_{C}} - \overset{\rightarrow}{V_{D}}| = 6 + 2 = 8m/s
∣VB→−VC→∣=4m/s|\overset{\rightarrow}{V_{B}} - \overset{\rightarrow}{V_{C}}| = 4m/s
∣VB→−VD→∣=4m/s|\overset{\rightarrow}{V_{B}} - \overset{\rightarrow}{V_{D}}| = 4m/s
∣Vc→∣−∣VD→∣=6−2=4m/s|\overset{\rightarrow}{V_{c}}| - |\overset{\rightarrow}{V_{D}}| = 6 - 2 = 4m/s
