A uniform chain of length / and mass m is lying on a smooth table and one third of its length is hanging vertically down over the edge of the table. Calculate the work required to pull the hanging part on the table.

A 1.5 m long chain of mass 0.8 kg is kept on a horizontal table and a part of its length hangs from the edge of the table. When the length of the hanging part is one- third the total length of the chain, it starts sliding off the table. What will be the work done by friction when the whole length of the chain slides off the table ?
