A block is dragged on a smooth horizontal plane with the help of a light rope which moves with a velocity v as shown in figure. The horizontal velocity of the block is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

From geometry l 2 = x 2 + y 2 but y is constant, hence differentiating, we have, 2 l d l d t = 2 x d x d t But d l d t = v . Hence horizontal velocity of block, v x = d x d t ⇒ l v = x . v x or v x = l . v x = v sin ⁡ θ
