Question Number 22582 by Tinkutara last updated on 20/Oct/17

A chain consisting of 5 links each of  mass 0.1 kg is lifted vertically with a  constant acceleration of 2 m/s^2 . The  force of interaction (in newton) between  the top link and the link immediately  below it will be :  Take g = 10 m/s^2 .

let force between top link and  the one immediately below be N.  Then   N−4mg=4ma  ⇒  N=4m(g+a) =4.8 newtons

$${let}\:{force}\:{between}\:{top}\:{link}\:{and} \\ $$$${the}\:{one}\:{immediately}\:{below}\:{be}\:\boldsymbol{{N}}. \\ $$$${Then}\:\:\:{N}−\mathrm{4}{mg}=\mathrm{4}{ma} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{N}=\mathrm{4}{m}\left({g}+{a}\right)\:=\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}\:{newtons} \\ $$
