Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Mass of length 2 m of the chain = 4 kg
Mass of length 60 cm or 0.60 m of the chain
`=(4xx0.60)/2=1.2 kg`
Weight of the hanging part of the chain = 1.2 x 10=12 N
Since the centre of gravity of the hanging part lies at its mid point, ie. 30 cm or 0.30 m
`therefore` W= 12 x 0.30= 3.6 J
