Question
![**Problem Statement**
Determine the velocity of cart \( A \) if cylinder \( B \) has a downward velocity of 3.4 ft/sec at the instant illustrated. The two pulleys at \( C \) are pivoted independently. The velocity of \( A \) is positive if it moves down the slope, and negative if it moves up the slope.
**Diagram Description**
- A vertical rope, passing over a pulley mounted to a support beam, is attached to the top of cylinder \( B \).
- Cylinder \( B \) is labeled with a downward velocity \( v_B \) and an arrow pointing down, indicating a velocity of 3.4 ft/sec.
- Another section of the rope is connected to the cart \( A \) located on a sloped surface. The slope is inclined, and the cart is showing movement.
- There are two independently pivoted pulleys located at point \( C \), guiding the rope from the cylinder \( B \) to the cart \( A \).
**Question**
\[ \text{What is the velocity of } A: \ v_A = \ \ \_ \ \ \text{ ft/sec} \]
(Note: Fill in the blank with the appropriate value once calculated based on the given information and the pulley system analysis.)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc0d41877-4d43-40de-ad6f-884283fa9f2b%2F371c3d06-f65d-45aa-a2dc-9a9e5b0b2d23%2F193m1p_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
