In the arrangement shown in the figure,the ends $P$ and $Q$ of an unstretchable string move downwards with a uniform speed $U$. Pulleys $A$ and $B$ are fixed. The mass $M$ moves upwards with a speed:

  • A
    $2U \cos \theta$
  • B
    $U \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{2U}{\cos \theta}$
  • D
    $\frac{U}{\cos \theta}$

$A$ block is dragged on a smooth plane with the help of a rope which moves with a velocity $v$ as shown in the figure. The horizontal velocity of the block is

In the pulley system shown in the figure, the mass of $A$ is half of that of $\text{rod } B$. The rod length is $500 \text{ cm}$. The mass of pulleys and the threads may be neglected. The mass $A$ is set at the same level as the lower end of the rod and then released. After releasing the mass $A$, it would reach the top end of the rod $B$ in time (Assume $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$): (in $\text{ s}$)

In the figure shown,the velocity of the lift is $2\,m/s$ upwards. The string is winding on the motor shaft with a velocity of $2\,m/s$ and block $A$ is moving downwards with a velocity of $2\,m/s$ relative to the lift. Find the velocity of block $B$ with respect to the ground.
