Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β€” Kinetics of Systems of Particles: Problem 4_75

4/75 The open-link chain of length $L$ and mass $\rho$ per unit length is released from rest in the position shown, where the bottom link is almost touching the platform and the horizontal section is supported on a smooth surface. Friction at the corner guide is negligible. Determine (a) the velocity $v_1$ of end $A$ as it reaches the corner and (b) its velocity $v_2$ as it strikes the platform. (c) Also specify the total loss $Q$ of energy.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Find: (a) the velocity $v_1$ of end $A$ as it reaches the corner and; (b) its velocity $v_2$ as it strikes the platform; (c) Also specify the total loss $Q$ of energy
