A heavy uniform chain lies on a horizontal table-top. If the coefficient of friction between the chain and table surface is 0.25, then the maximum fraction of length of the chain, that can hang over one edge of the table is

A chain is placed on a rough table, partially hanging, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the chain and the table is mu = 0.4. If the maximum possible length of the hanging part is x and the length of the chain is L, then what is the value of (L)/(x) ?
