The velocities of $A$ and $B$ are marked in the figure. The velocity of block $C$ is ......... $m/s$ (assume that the pulleys are ideal and string inextensible)

$5$
$2 $
$3$
$4 $
Solution

From the figure
$l_{1}+l_{2}+l_{3}+l_{4}=$ constant
if block B moved by $X_{1}$ and block A moved by $X_{2}$ then $-$ moves down by $X_{4}$ and $l_{3}$ remain same)
Now $-\left(l_{1}-\left(X_{1}-X_{2}\right)\right)+l_{2}-\left(X_{1}-X_{2}\right)+l_{3}+\left(l_{4}+X_{4}\right)=\left(l_{1}+l_{2}+l_{3}+l_{4}\right)$
$\left(X_{1}+X_{2}\right)$ taken by the relative change in the position $\left(l_{1}+l_{2}-2\left(X_{1}-X_{2}\right)\right)+l_{3}+l_{4}+x_{4}=l_{1}+l_{2}+l_{3}+l_{4}$
$\rightarrow-2\left(X_{1}-X_{2}\right)=-X_{4}$
thus $X_{4}=2\left(X_{1}-X_{2}\right)$
derivate with respect to time
$\frac{d x_{4}}{d t}=2\left(\frac{d x_{1}}{d t}-\frac{d x_{2}}{d t}\right)$
$V_{4}+2\left(V_{1}-V_{2}\right)=2(3-1)=4 m / s$
because – block $'c'$ is also in th contact with $B.$
so the net velocity of the block $c$
$\vec{V}_{c}=-3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}$
speed $=\left|\vec{V}_{c}\right|=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}=5 m / s$
