Three particles A, B and C of mass m, 2m and 3m respectively lie on a smooth horizontal table. A and B as well as B and C are connected by light inextensible strings each of equal length . The string connecting A and B is tight. The initial distance between B and C is and particle C is given a velocity v0 parallel to AB as shown in the figure. Find the velocity of the particle A, just after its starts moving. ( )

Answer:
0.10
Solution:

BC becomes taut when : C has moved parallel to AB, so BC makes 60° with AB.

Impulse along BC and along AB. Inextensibility: A's speed along AB = B's component along AB ⇒ ; C's component along BC = B's along BC ⇒ .

, so m/s
