force applied by the first link on to the last=m(g+a)
where m=mass of the later part of string

putting the values,
force=.4(12.5)=5N

Ans is 4.92 !!!

Here it goes »

1st for chain as a system

F-5mg»5ma

Then let T be the interaction force b/t 1st & 2nd chain then downward force from 1st chain LL be (mg plusT)

Then, F - (mg plus T)=ma

Solve these for T !!!!;)

M=0.4
F=m(a+g)
F=0.4(2.5+9.8)
F=0.4(12.3)
Therefore ,F=4.92N
Therefore, the force of interaction between
the first link and link immediately below of it is 4.92N....thank-you
