$A$ rod is constrained to move along a vertical wall and a horizontal floor. If the velocity of end $A$ is $V_A$ along the horizontal floor,find the velocity $V_B$ of end $B$ along the vertical wall in terms of $V_A$ and $\theta$.

$A$ 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 : $g = 32 \, ft/s^2$)
