A uniform chain of mass M and length L is held verticallyi in such a way that its lower end just touches the horizontal floor. The chain is released from rest in this position. Any portion that strikes the floor comes to rest. Assuming that the chain does not form a heap on the floor, calculate the force exerted by it on the floor when a length x has reached the floor.

A chain of mass M and length l is held vertically such that its bottom end just touches the surface of a horizontal table. The chain is released from rest. Assume that the portion of chain on the table does not form a heap. The momentum of the portion of the chain above the table after the top end of the chain falls down by a distance l/8 .

A chain of mass M and length L is held vertical by fixing its upper end to a rigid support. The tension in the chain at a distance y from the rigid support is:

A very flexible uniform chain of mass M and length l is suspended vertically in a lift so that its lower end is just touching the surface of the floor. When the upper end of the chain is released, it falls with each link coming to rest the instant it strikes the floor of the lift.Find the force exerted by the floor of the lift on the chain at the moment, when one fourth of the chain has already rested on the floor. Assume that lift is moving up with an acceleration g/2.
