WEDGE + STRING CONSTRAINTS
1. """"⃗! = 2 𝑐𝑚/𝑠 downward.
𝑉
""""⃗
𝑉 " = 3 𝑐𝑚/𝑠 Rightward.

A moves such that its contact with B is always
maintained. Find 𝑉 """"⃗# (in terms of unit vectors 𝚤̂
and 𝚥̂). Also find its magnitude.

𝚤̂ and 𝚥̂ are unit vector along right and upward
direction respectively.

2. """"⃗
𝑉 " = 2 𝑐𝑚/𝑠 leftward
""""⃗! = 1 𝑐𝑚/𝑠 Downward
𝑉
Find the speed of A.

3. Find the acceleration of all the blocks when the
system is released from rest. All surfaces are
frictionless.

4. Wedge is pulled towards left with velocity ‘v’.
Find the magnitude of velocity of the block.

5. """"⃗
𝑉 " = 2 𝑐𝑚/𝑠 rightwards.
""""⃗# = 6 𝑐𝑚/𝑠 downward.
𝑉

Find the magnitude of velocity of C.

Given, angle of inclination of slant surface of B
is 53o.

6. Find the acceleration of the wedge when the system is
released from rest. All surfaces are frictionless.
