A heavy uniform chain lies on a horizontal table-top. If the coefficient of friction between the chain and table surface is $0.25$, then the maximum fraction of length of the chain, that can hang over one edge of the table is ...... $\%$

A

$20$

B

$25$

C

$35$

D

$15$

(AIPMT-1991)

Solution

(a) $l' = \left( {\frac{{\mu }}{{\mu + 1}}} \right) = \left( {\frac{{0.25}}{{0.25 + 1}}} \right)\;l = \frac{l}{5} = 20\% $ of $l$
