- Homework Statement
- A metal chain is put on rotation over a horizontal surface with enough velocity not to collapse. The chain's mass density ##\rho## is known, as well as its radius ##R## and the velocity of its center of mass, ##v##. Find the tension in the chain.
- Relevant Equations
- The linear and rotating motion equations
I know the solution for the problem of the tension on a rotating ring without gravity (tha is, ##\frac{mR\omega^2}{2\pi}##) - that I find simple enough. But I'm at a loss how can I change it to do with gravity :/
Any help is appreciated! (and apologies for the bad drawing)
