The tension t at each end of the chain has magnitude 25 n. what is the mass of the chain? (use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. give your answer correct to at least two decimal places.)

Respuesta :

Let m = the mass of the chain, kg

The tension of  25 N supports the weight of the chain, therefore
(m kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 25 N
m =25/9.8 = 2.551 kg

Answer: The mass is 2.55 kg (2 dec. places)
