A rigid rod of length 1 m is resting at an angle
as shown in the figure. The end P is dragged with a velocity of U = 5 m/s to the right. At the instant shown, the magnitude of the velocity V (in m/s) of point Q as it moves along the wall without losing contact is

In a cam-follower, the follower rises by
as the cam rotates by
(radians) at constant angular velocity
(radians/s). The follower is uniformly accelerating during the first half of the rise period and it is uniformly decelerating in the later half of the rise period. Assuming that the magnitudes of the acceleration and deceleration are same, the maximum velocity of the follower isYour answerChoose one option.
