    A rod of length \[l\] leans by its upper end against a smooth vertical wall, while its other end leans against the floor. The end that leans against the wall moves uniformly downward. Then

    A) The other end also moves uniformly

    B) The speed of other end goes on decreasing      

    C) The speed of other end goes on increasing                                    

    D) The speed of other end first decreases and then increases 

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      [b] \[{{v}_{x}}=\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dy}{dt}.\frac{dx}{dy}\] Since   \[x=\sqrt{{{\ell }^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{y}{\sqrt{{{\ell }^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{v}_{x}}=-\frac{y}{\sqrt{{{\ell }^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}}.\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{y+|{{v}_{y}}|}{\sqrt{{{\ell }^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}}\] Thus, the speed of the lower end gets smaller and smaller and vanishes at\[y=0\].
