A unifrom flexible chain of length L with weight `lambda` per unit length passes over a small frictionless massless pulley. It is released from rest position with length of chain y hanging from one side and `(L-y)` from the other side
(a) Under what condition will it accelerate?
(b) assuming these circumstances find the acceleration as a function of y.
