A uniform chain of length 2 m is lying on a horizontal table top with a length ‘x’ hanging over the edge of the table. If coefficient of static friction between the table top and the chain is 0.6, the maximum value of ‘x’ is 

a
0.9 m
b
0.65 m
c
0.75 m
d
0.85 m

detailed solution

Correct option is C

If λ be the mass per unit length of the chain, then λxg=μ×λl−x.g⇒x=μl1+μ=0.6×21+0.6=1.21.6m=34m=0.75 m
