Question

A rod AB is shown in figure. End A of the rod is fixed on the ground. Block is moving with velocity √3 m/s towards right. The velocity of end B of rod when rod makes an angle of 60o with the ground is:

Options

A.√3 m/s
B.2 m/s
C.2√3 m/s
D.3 m/s

Solution

Let    AB = l , B = (x , y)
        = vxî + vyĵ
        = √3î + vyĵ     →        (i)
        x2 + y2 = l2
        2x vx + 2y vy = 0        ⇒    √3 + vy = 0
⇒     √3 + (tan60o) vy = 0
⇒                  vy = − 1
Hence from (i)   
        = √3 î − ĵ
Hence
        vB = 2 m/s
