Q.

A chain of length L is placed on a horizontal surface as shown in figure. At any instant x is the length of chain on rough surface and the remaining portion lies on smooth surface. Initially x = 0. A horizontal force P is applied to the chain (as shown in figure). In the duration, x changes from x = 0 to x = L. For chain to move with constant speed,
