let us consider a small element at a distance x from the floor of lenght dy
so dm=Mdx/L
so the velocity with whcih the element will strike the floor is
v=(2gx)1/2
Therefore the momentum transferred to the floor is
M=(dm)v=Mdx(2gx)1/2 /L
(because the element comes to rest)
so the force exerted on the floor changes in momentum is given by,
F1=dM/dt=Mdx(2gx)1/2 /Ldt
because v=dx/dt=(2gx)1/2 (for the chain element)
F1=M(2gx)2 /L
=2Mgx/L
Again the force exerted due to x length of the chain on the floor due to its own weight is given by,
W=Mxg/L
so the total force exerted is given by
F=F1+W
=2Mgx/L + Mgx/L
=3Mgx/L
Rate if satisfied. Plz correct me if i am wrong
