Nice can u post something for this
Nice solution. Yours is a BETTER and engineering method. I have given below the problem from point of view of calculus.
T a n θ = x h , a n d S i n θ = R h , w h e r e R 2 = h 2 + x 2 . ⟹ h = x ∗ T a n θ , a n d h = R ∗ S i n θ . C o s θ = x 2 + h 2 x D i f f e r a n t i a t i n g w . r . t . t i m e a n d e q u a t i n g d t d θ f r o m b o t h , x ∗ s e c 2 θ V A ∗ T a n θ = R ∗ C o s θ . V R ∗ S i n θ ∴ V R = x ∗ s e c 2 θ V A ∗ T a n θ ∗ S i n θ R ∗ C o s θ . B u t V B = 2 1 ∗ V R = 2 1 ∗ V A ∗ x 2 + h 2 x .
On second thought:-
A s is the endpoint of the string that is connected to block A. ∴ V A S i s a c o m p o n e n t o f V A . ⟹ V A S = V A ∗ C o s θ = x 2 + h 2 V A ∗ x . Free points on the string to the right of pulley and the right tangency point ON the pulley at B have velocity of V A S . Similarly, on the left , and left tangency point ON the pulley has 0 velocity(are stationary). So, the midpoint between the points of tangency ON the RIGID pulley, where the block B is attached has velocity V B = 2 V A S = 2 ∗ x 2 + h 2 V A ∗ x .

Let's invoke the Virtual Work done method!!
This method states that the work done by the internal forces in case of a mechanical system is always zero. In this case, the internal forces are the tension in the strings. Let string attached with block ′ A ′ has a tension ′ T ′ in it. Clearly, the string attached to block ′ B ′ has tension ′ 2 T ′ in it.
Now, the velocity component of ′ A ′ in the direction of tension is v A cos θ . So, by virtual work done:
T A x A + T B x B = 0
Differentiating this equation with respect to time, we can get that:
T A v A + T B v B = 0 T v A cos θ + 2 T v B = 0
From the adjacent triangle,
cos θ = h y p o t e n u s e b a s e = x 2 + h 2 x
Using this information, and ignoring the negative sign, which gives direction, we get:
v B = 2 T T v A cos θ = 2 x 2 + h 2 x v A
CHEERS!!:)
