A flexible chain weighing 40.0 N hangs between two hooks located at the same height (Fig. P12.19).

Question:

A flexible chain weighing 40.0 N hangs between two hooks located at the same height (Fig. P12.19). At each hook, the tangent to the chain makes an angle θ= 42.0° with the horizontal. Find
(a) The magnitude of the force each hook exerts on the chain and
(b) The tension in the chain at its midpoint. (Suggestion: for part (b) Make a free-body diagram for half of the chain.)
