Question

Chain, Chain, Chain 4 of 5 Using the Chain to Tow a Sled Old Captain Don is ovenjoyed when he sees the kids playing with the chain, because he had lost the chain sometime last winter. It turns out that Captain Don uses the chain to connect his snowmobile to his homemade sled in which he tows loads of fish, or ice, or supplies, etc back and forth from his nearby house and office to his dock in the wintertime Assume for the purposes of this problem, that the little homemade sled slips across the winter snows with little friction of any kind. Suppose the mass of the sled and its load is 39.00 kg and suppose that Captain Don is speeding up on level ground at a rate of 61.00 cm/s as he is just starting out on a towing trip. Also, assume that the chain stretches horizontally from a hook on the snowmobile to a hook on the homemade sled, ie ignore any sagging in the chain which is connecting the snowmobile to the homemade sled. Part G What is the tension in the chain at the meeting of links which is closest to the sled? Note: this question has a tolerance of only 1.0%, not the usual 2.0%. View Available Hint(s) I ALOO 3 ?

Answer 1

Solu Griven, mass of sled, m- 39.00 kg. Acceleration of showmobile, a = 61.00 un 0/2 a = 0.61 m/s² in Tension is closest the to the chain at the sled& is meeting links which given by Tama: - 39.00 x 0.61 = 23.79 N (4) Similarly, at the meeting links of closest to scow to o - mn = 39.00 x 0.61 = 23.79 is same throughout the chain The tension :
