Detailed Solution

If F is the upward force applied, a is the net upward acceleration and m is the mass of each link. Then, F5mg=5maorF=5m(g+a)....(i). 

If N is force of interaction between the top link and link immediately below it, then 

ma=FmgNN=Fmgma=5m(g+a)m(g+a)      (Using(i))N=4m(g+a)=4×1×(10+2)=48N
