Q3. A chain of mass m0 per unit length is loosely coiled on the

floor. If one of the end is subjected to a constant force P, when
y = 0 , determine followings when P = 10N and m0 = 0.2kg / m

(a) Determine the maximum value of chain length ymax

(b) Determine the velocity of the chain as a function of y
while 0 y ymax .
(c) Determine the acceleration of the chain as a function of
y while 0 y ymax .
(d) Plot velocity and acceleration of hook chain as a function
as a function y in all the cases using MATLAB while
0 y ymax .
