A uniform chain of mass and length overhangs a table with two-thirds of its length resting on the table. Determine the work to be done by a person to put the hanging portion back onto the table.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Mass of the hanging portion of the chain is .
The center of mass of the hanging portion is at a depth below the edge of the table.
Work done to pull the hanging portion back onto the table is equal to the change in potential energy of the hanging portion.
