To solve the problem of finding the maximum fraction of the length of the chain that could hang over the edge of the table, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a heavy uniform metal chain on a horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the chain and the table is given as \( \mu = 0.22 \). We need to find the maximum length of the chain that can hang over the edge of the table without slipping. ### Step 2: Define Variables Let: - \( L \) = Total length of the chain ...
