Measureheights above the final position of the leading end of the chain. At the moment the final linkslips off, the center of the chain is at yf=4 meters.Originally, 5 meters of chain is at height 8 m and the middle of the dangling segment is atheight 83265−=. m.KU EK Uiiff++= +∆mech:01211222−=+FHGIKJzm gym gyf dxmvmgyikiffbg58365 2 041288440 019 52 000 4004 0032 027 52 000 400240027 52 00 5 000 400 12 54 0022 54 0022 59 80742
