A chain consisting of 5 links, each of mass 0.100kg is lifted vertically with a constant acceleration of 2.50 m/s^2.

Calculate the force that link 2 exerts of link 1.

2 answers

The force will be the total weight the link supports (Σmg) + the acceleration of 2.5 m/s² multiplied by the total mass (Σm) it supports.
F = Σm(g+a)
