Answer

$v_A=28.3m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required speed as follows: According to the work-energy principle $T_1+\Sigma U_{1\rightarrow 2}=T_2$ $\implies 0+\frac{1}{2}F(2S_B)=\frac{1}{2}mv_A^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $0+\frac{1}{2}(20000)(2)(0.2)=\frac{1}{2}(10)v_A^2$ This simplifies to: $v_A=28.3m/s$
