I wasn't even sure how to title this exercise since I don't really know how this movement is being officially called in English, I just called it "circular and linear motion" as a translation from Hebrew.

The uniform beam AC moves so its tip A slides along the y axis, upwards, whereas B slides along the x-axis (see drawing). The speed of point A (Va) equals 7 m/s. The measurements are in meters.
Calculate the speed of point C and B
The formulas I've seen used appear to give me the wrong solution.
