A chain with length L and mass density σ kg/m lies in a heap on the floor. You grab one end of the chain and pull upward with a force such that the chain moves at constant speed v. What is the total work you do, by the time the chain is completely off the floor? How much energy is lost to heat, if any? Assume that the chain is greased, so that it has no friction with itself.
