Equilibrium based Questions: Practice Problem & Solution

A body of weight  W1 is suspended from the ceiling of a room through a chain of weight W2. The ceiling pulls the chain by a force
W1
W2
(W1+W2)/2
W1+W2

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Equilibrium based Questions. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Total weight of chain + block system is W1 +W2.
