the velocity of B is 2m/s
Akash Anand Dont forget to mention the direction.

Till now ..no one is absolutely correct..keep trying. :)
Soumyabrata Mondal sir A moving away from the pulley??
Yup
2
4
12
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 .
