Serway & Jewett β€” Motion in One Dimension: Problem 40

Two objects, A and B, are connected by hinges to a rigid rod that has a length $L$. The objects slide along perpendicular guide rails as shown in Figure P2.40. Assume object A slides to the left with a constant speed $v$. (a) Find the velocity $v_B$ of object B as a function of the angle $\theta$. (b) Describe $v_B$ relative to $v$. Is $v_B$ always smaller than $v$, larger than $v$, or the same as $v$, or does it have some other relationship?
