Question
In the Figure, the pulley P moves to the right with a constant speed u. The downward speed of A is vA, and the speed of B to the right is vB.


Options
A.vB = vA
B.vB = u + vA
C.vB + u = vA
D.the two blocks have accelerations of the same magnitude
Solution

by string constrain
vA + u − vB = 0
or vB = u + vA
differentiating both side
aB = 0 + aA Ans.
