A sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R_2$ has a concentric cavity of radius $R_1$ as shown in figure. The force $F$ exerted by the sphere on a particle of mass $m$ located at a distance r from the centre of sphere varies as $(0 \le r \le \,\infty )$
Two masses $A$ and $B$ of mass $M$ and $2M$ respectively are connected by a compressed ideal spring. The system is placed on $a$ horizontal frictionless table and given $a$ velocity $u\, \hat k$ in the $z$ -direction as shown in the figure. The spring is then released. In the subsequent motion the line from $B$ to $A$ always points along the $\hat i$ unit vector. At some instant of $\rho$ time mass $B$ has $a$ $x$ -component of velocity as $V_x\, \hat i$ . The velocity ${\vec V_A}$ of as $A$ at that instant is
