A uniform chain of length L is lying on the horizontal table.If the coefficient of friction between the chain and table top is m, what is the maximum length of the chain that can hang over the edge of the table without disturbing the rest of the chain on the table?

A rough inclined plane is inclined at 30° to the horizontal as shown in the figure. A uniform chain of length L is partly on the inclined plane and partly hanging from the top of the incline. If the coefficient offriction between chain and inclined plane is mu , the maximum length of the lianging part to prevent the chain from falling vertically is:

A heavy uniform chain lies on horizontal table top. If the co-efficient of friction between the chain and the table surface is 0.25, the maximum percentage of the length of the chain that can hang over one edge of the table is
