Detailed Solution
Consider an elemental part of length dx at height x from floor. Just before hiting the floor, its velocity is v=2gx and mass element is dm=MLdx. After hiting floor this element comes to rest.∴Fimpulsive=dPdt=0−dm2gxdtAt this moment the length of heap of chain on floor is x.∴Fheap=MLxgThus, N=Fheap+Fimpulsive=MgxL+2MgxL=3MgxL=2gxdmdt=2gxMLdxdt=2gxML2gx=2MgxLCase 1 : 0LN=MgWhole chain is on the floor and N becomes constant.
