If Fig. 5-48, a chain consisting of five links, each of mass 0.100 kg, is lifted vertically with constant acceleration of magnitude `a=2.50" m"//"s"^(2)`. Find the magnitudes of (a) the force on link 1 from link 2, (b) the force on link 2 from link 3, (c) the force on link 3 from link 4, and (d) the force on link 4 from link 5. Then find the magnitudes of (e) the force `vec(F)` on the top link from the person lifting the chain and (f) the net force accelerating each link.

Explanation

(a) 1.23 N, (b) 2.46 N, ( c ) 3.69 N, (d) 4.92 N, (e) 6.15 N, (f) 0.250 N
