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.
Step by Step Answer:
The total force R exerted on the fixed platform by the chain as a function of x can be determined us...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
