Ex.1
1.1 String constraint : A vA=?
When the two object are connected through a string
and if the string have the following properties : Sol. In the above situation block B is moving with velocity
• The length of the string remains constant i.e., it is v. Then speed of each point of the string is v along
inextensible string the string.
• Always remains taut i.e., does not slacks. speed of the block A is also v
v
Then the parameters of the motion of the objects
B
along the length of the string have a definite relation
v
between them.
A vA=v

VA = 8 m/s

The block B moves with velocity v. i.e. each particle Ex.2 37°
of block B moves with velocity v. vB=? B
If string remain attached to block B it is necessary
that velocity of each particle of string is same = v
(vs = v)

along the string.

The real velocity of B is vB. Then the string will not
