A uniform chain has a mass ' m ' and length l '. It is held on a frictionless table with one-sisth of its length hanging over the edge. The work done in just pulling the hanging part back on the table is:

  1. A mgl72
  2. B mgl36
  3. C mgl12
  4. D mgl6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) mgl72

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done in pulling the hanging par of chain on table is equal to gain in potential energy, W=Mgh Mass of hanging part which is 16th of the total length, given that mass of chain is m is m6. Centre of mass is located at a distance l12 from the table.…
