Question

Suppose you need of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of and weighs , to tow a car. How would you calculate the mass of this much chain?

Answer 1

Answer: check explanation

Explanation:

In this question we are to find mass. In order to calculate the Mass, We need the values of two parameters, that is, the values given for the grade tow chain, and the value given for the mass per length.

Assuming the mass per length is 3 Kilogram per metre(kg/m) and the grade 70 tow chain length is 5 metre(m).

Therefore, the formula for calculating mass of the chain is given below;

Mass of the chain= mass per unit length(kg/m) × length ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Mass of the chain= 3 kg/m × 5 m.

Mass of the chain= 15 kg.
