If a loop of chain is spun at high speed, it will roll like a hoop without

Question:

If a loop of chain is spun at high speed, it will roll like a hoop without collapsing. Consider a chain of linear mass density m that is rolling without slipping at a high speed v0.

(a) Show that the tension in the chain is F = μv02.

(b) If the chain rolls over a small bump, a transverse wave pulse will be generated in the chain. At what speed will it travel along the chain?

(c) How far around the loop (in degrees) will a transverse wave pulse travel in the time the hoop rolls through one complete revolution?
