The block B is suspended from a cable that is attached to the block at E, wraps around three pulleys, and is tied to the back of a truck. If the truck starts from rest when x_D is zero, and moves forward with a constant acceleration of a_D = 0.5 m/s², determine the speed of the block at the instant x_D = 2 m. Neglect the size of the pulleys in the calculation. When x_D = 0, y_C = 5 m, so that points C and D are at the same elevation.
