a 50m long chain hangs vertically from a cunlinder attached to a winch. Assume there is no friction in the system and that the chain has a density of 10kg/m. how much work is required to wind the chain into the cylinder if a 50kg block is attached to the end of the chain?

Answer:

147000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of chain=L=50 m

Density of chain=[tex]\rho=10kg/m^3[/tex]

We have to find the work done required to wind the chain into the cylinder if a 50 kg block is attached to the end of the chain.

Work done=[tex]\int_{a}^{b}F(y)dy[/tex]

We have F(y)=[tex]\rho g(50-y)dy[/tex]

a=0 and  b=50

[tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Using the formula

Work done=[tex]w_1=10\times 9.8\int_{0}^{50}(50-y)dy[/tex]

Where Length of chain is (50-y) has to be lifted.

Work done=[tex]w_1=10\times 9.8[50y-\frac{y^2}{2}]^{50}_{0}[/tex]

By using the formula [tex]\int x^ndx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C[/tex]

Work done=[tex]w_1=10\times 9.8\times (50(50)-\frac{(50)^2}{2})=98\times (2500-1250)=122500 J[/tex]

When the chain is weightless then the work done required to lift the block attached to the 50 m long chain

Again using the formula

Where f(y)=mg

[tex]w_2=\int_{0}^{50}mgdy[/tex]

We have m=50 kg

[tex]w_2=\int_{0}^{50}50\times 9.8 dy=490[y]^{50}_{0}=490\times 50=24500 J[/tex]

The work done required  to wind the chain into the cylinder if a 50 kg block is attached to the end of the chain=[tex]w_1+w_2=122500+24500=147000 J[/tex]
