Till now ..no one is absolutely correct..keep trying. :)

- Soumyadeep Basu (a) 2 m/s upwards (b) 4 m/s downwards (c) 12 m/s upwards
Still no one is even close to the right answer. First part for every one is correct. Think about second and third question.
B) 2m/s downwards
C) 4m/s upwards
- Swarna Kamal Dhyawala sorry C)8m/s upwards
- Akash Anand Excellent.....It will better if you provide the solution as well. Good work
block B is moving upwards with 2m/s therefore velocity of string d is 2m/s downwards where as if we consider movement of string c attached to movable pulley so it has to move with velocity [2x2(movable pulley) + 2 (fixed pulley)]=6m/s (by length constraint)..
therefore w.r.t D the velocity of c is = 6-(-2)m/s =8m/s upwards
- Akash Anand Good Work :)
i found your logic unsatisfactory.
If you say that since C is attached to the movable pulley, hence we are applying that constraint reln.
but then, isnt "D" also attached to that same pulley.
why didnt we consider the constraint then?
- Swarna Kamal Dhyawala it is attached movable pulley but as the movable pulley moves up by 2m/s so string C has to move by double velocity .where as D has to only move with 2m/s due to fixed pulley .
