Question:
A body of weight \( W \) is suspended from the ceiling of a room through a chain of weight \( w \). The ceiling pulls the chain by a force.
A body of weight \( W \) is suspended from the ceiling of a room through a chain of weight \( w \). The ceiling pulls the chain by a force.
Show Hint
In problems related to forces and weight, always remember that the total force is the sum of all the forces acting on the object.

- \( w \)
- \( {Wg} \)
- \( \dfrac{w + W}{2g} \)
- \( \dfrac{w - W}{2} \)
- \( w + W \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
Solution and Explanation
In the given problem, the force exerted by the ceiling on the chain is equal to the sum of the weights of the body and the chain, which is:
\[
F = W + w
\]
Hence, the correct answer is (E).
