Given: g = 9.8 m/s2 . A uniform flexible
chain whose mass is 6 kg and length is 9 m.
Given: A small frictionless pulley whose
circumference is negligible compared to the
length of the chain. Initially the chain is hung over the pulley with nearly equal lengths on both sides, but just unequal enough so that the unstable equilibrium condition will let the chain start to move.After some time, the longer end of the chain
is a distance l= 5.4 m down from the pulley’s
axle. Find the acceleration a of the chain when the chain

Answer 1

is at this position.
