M = total mass of the chain.
L = total length of the chain.
M = 4 kg , L = 2 m
Take length and mass of part of chain hanging down as l and m respectively
so,
l = 0.6 m
So now mass per unit length is
M/L = m/l
m = l / L * 4
m = (0.6 / 2) * 4
m = 1.2 kg
Tension = mg
= 1.2 *9.8
= 11.76 N
Force required = Tension
Displacement = 0.6 m
(part of chain hanging comes up)
W= Force x Displacement
w = 11.76 * 0.6
w = 7.056 J
