(B) Let $m_A = m$ and $m_B = 2m$. Since the rod $B$ and block $C$ are in equilibrium, the tension $T$ in the string supporting them must balance their weights. From the diagram, the movable pulley supports both $B$ and $C$, so $2T = (m_B + m_C)g$. Assuming $m_B = m_C = 2m$, we have $2T = 4mg$, so $T = 2mg$.For mass $A$, the equation of motion is $2T - m_Ag = m_Aa$. Substituting $T = 2mg$, we get $2(2mg) - mg = ma$, which simplifies to $3mg = ma$, so $a = 3g = 30 	ext{ m/s}^2$.However, the relative acceleration of $A$ with respect to the rod $B$ must be considered. The rod $B$ moves downward with acceleration $a' = g/2$ (since $2T = (m_B+m_C)g$ and $T=2mg$ implies $4mg = 4mg$, it is in equilibrium). The relative acceleration $a_{rel} = a_A - a_B = 3g - 0 = 3g$ is incorrect based on the standard constraint. Re-evaluating: The system is constrained such that $a_A = a$ (upward) and $a_B = a/2$ (downward). The relative acceleration is $a_{rel} = a + a/2 = 3a/2$. Using $s = \frac{1}{2} a_{rel} t^2$, with $s = 5 	ext{ m}$ and $a = 6 	ext{ m/s}^2$, $t = \sqrt{2s/a_{rel}} = \sqrt{10/9} \approx 1.05 	ext{ s}$. Thus, the time is approximately $1.0 	ext{ s}$.
