The end of a pile of loose-link chain of mass per unit length is being pulled
Question:
The end of a pile of loose-link chain of mass ρ per unit length is being pulled horizontally along the surface by a constant force P. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chain and the surface is μk, determine the acceleration a of the chain in terms of x and x˙.
Step by Step Answer:
The acceleration of the chain can be determined by applying Newtons second law of moti...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.
