A chain of mass m and length l rests on a rough table with part overhanging. The chain starts sliding down by itself if overhanging part is l/3. What will be the work performed by the friction force acting on the chain by the moment it slides completely off the table.
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Assume at any instant the length of the chain on the table is x then force friction = μ μ N = 
xg
Work done against friction 
xg. dx
=
