Question

A chain of length L and mass Mis hanging by fixing
its upper end to a rigid support. The tension in the
chain at a distance x from rigid support is
MOL
(L - x)
1
(2) mg.
L
(L - x)
(1)
Mgx
(3
(4) Zero​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tension is equal to the weight it balances till the point where tension is to be calculated.

So tension at a distance x from the support is g

L

M(L−x)

Answer 2

Answer:

Tension is equal to the weight it balances till the point where tension is to be calculated.

So tension at a distance x from the support is g

L

M(L−x)
