Find the resulting velocity of the cord with attached weight


A gymnast A and a weight B - each of mass M - are attached to a cord/pulley set as shown. The whole system is originally at equilibrium. Then the gymnast starts climbing along the cord with velocity relative to the cord. What will be the resulting velocity of the cord with attached weight B if the pulley may be regarded as a thin solid disk of mass m and outer radius R? You may obtain the solution using conservation of angular momentum principle.
