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
    $\frac{U}{\cos \theta}$

$A$ thin uniform rod of length $L$ is resting against a wall and the floor as shown in the figure. Its lower end $A$ is pulled towards the left with a constant velocity $v$. Then the downward velocity $v^{\prime}$ of the other end $B$ when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the floor is

The velocity of end $A$ of a rigid rod placed between two smooth perpendicular walls moves with velocity $u$ along the vertical direction. Find the velocity of end $B$ of the rod,given that the rod always remains in contact with the walls.

$A$ basket and its contents have mass $M$. $A$ monkey of mass $2M$ grabs the other end of the rope and very quickly (almost instantaneously) accelerates by pulling hard on the rope until he is moving with a constant speed of $v_{m/r} = 2 \, ft/s$ measured relative to the rope. The monkey then continues climbing at this constant rate relative to the rope for $3 \, s$. How fast is the basket rising at the end of the $3 \, s$? Neglect the mass of the pulley and the rope. (given : $g = 32 \, ft/s^2$)
