A rope or hinged-link bicycle-type chain of length L and mass per unit length is released

Question:

A rope or hinged-link bicycle-type chain of length L and mass ρ per unit length is released from rest with x = 0. Determine the expression for the total force R exerted on the fixed platform by the chain as a function of x. Note that the hinged-link chain is a conservative system during all but the last increment of motion.
