Figure-1

1. (30%) A uniform chain of length 𝐿 with mass density per unit length 𝜌 is hung on a small
smooth pulley with 𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑙 when 𝑡 = 0, 𝑙 > 𝐿⁄2, as shown in the Figure-1. The chain
is released from rest at time 𝑡 = 0. Find the time 𝑇 that it takes for the chain to leave the
pulley ? (You may ignore the frictional forces)
