vA=dtdx=dtd[2lcos(θ)]=−2lsin(θ)dtdθ and
Vertical velocity of B, vB=dtdy=dtd[lsin(θ)]=lcos(θ)dtdθ
vBvA=−2tan(θ)⇒vB=−2vAcot(θ)
θ→increase
cotθ→decrease
Hence, ∣vB∣→decrease.

The machine as shown has 2 rods of length 1m connected by a pivot at the top. The end of one rod is connected to the floor by a stationary pivot and the end of the other rod has roller that rolls along the floor in a slot. As the roller goes back and forth, a 2kg weight moves up and down. If the roller is moving towards right at a constant speed, the weight moves up with a :

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
