<span>The total mass that should be placed in the right cap so that the caps equilibrate at equal height is also 1 kg. if equilibrium should be maintained the force in each side should cancel out, so to balance a 1kg mass, a 1 kg mass should also be place on the opposite direction</span>

A chain of length L has a mass of m which is uniformly distributed. When it is placed on a smooth horizontal table, 1/4 of its l

krok68 [10]

Gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Length of hanging part, L/4

The gravitational potential energy is;

Work = Gravitational potential energy

Work done =force×displacement

$\rm W = \frac{Mg}{3} \times \frac{L}{8} \\\\ W = \frac{MgL}{24}$

Hence, gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.
