A flexible chain of mass m hangs between two fixed points at the same level. The inclination of the chain with the horizontal at the two points of support is 30 . Considering the equilibrium of each half of the chain, the tension of the chain at the lowest point is .

  1. mg
  2. 32mg
  3. 12mg
  4. 3mg

Answer

(2) 32mg

Solution

Consider one half of the chain (mass m2). Forces on it: tension T at the support at 30 to the horizontal, horizontal tension T0 at the lowest point and weight mg2.

Vertical equilibrium: T 30 = mg2 T = mg

Horizontal equilibrium: T0 = T 30

T0 = 32mg

Answer: (2)

A 4 kg mass moves under the influence of a force F = (4t3 i - 3t j) N where t is the time in second. If mass starts from origin at t = 0, the velocity and position after t = 2 s will be:

  1. v = 3 i + 32 j r = 65 i + j
  2. v = 4 i - 32 j r = 65 i - j
  3. v = 4 i - 32 j r = 85 i - j
  4. v = 4 i + 52 j r = 85 i + 2 j
