Problem P. 4772. (November 2015)

P. 4772. A negligible mass and homogeneous spring spring of spring constant \(\displaystyle D\) and of length \(\displaystyle L\) is cut into \(\displaystyle n\) pieces. The small pieces of the spring are alternately attached to bodies of mass \(\displaystyle m\) each, thus creating a chain (at its end there is a body of mass \(\displaystyle m\)). Then the chain is hung.

\(\displaystyle a)\) How should the spring be cut, in order to gain the same lengths of springs in the chain when it is hanging at rest?

\(\displaystyle b)\) What distance does the centre of gravity move down if the bottom of the chain is pulled down by a distance of \(\displaystyle \delta\)?

(Let for example \(\displaystyle DL=mg\) and \(\displaystyle n=5\).)
