At a certain moment of time, velocities of 1 and 2 both are 1 m/s upwards. Find the velocity of 3 at that moment.
2 m/s (down wards)
2.5 m/s (upwards)
1.5 m/s (down wards)
3 m/s (Down wards)
We know
V2 + V32 = VP ∴ 1+V32 =−1 ⇒ V3=−3m/s
(- sign denotes that the block is moving in downward direction with velocity 3m/s)
