A very flexible uniform chain of mass M ...

A very flexible uniform chain of mass M and length L is suspended vertically so that its lower and just touches the surface of a table. When the upper end of the chain is released it falls with each link coming to rest the instant it strikes the table. Find the force exerted by the chain on the table at the moment when y part of the chain has already rested on the table.

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.

A uniform chain of length l begins to fall with a velocity v on the table. Find the thrust force exerted by the chain on the table.

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 uniform chain of mass m and length l is placed on a smooth table so that one - third length hanges freely as shown in the figure. Now the chain is released, with what velocity chain slips off the table?

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.
