Problem 1.184

A chain ABA B of length ll is located in a smooth horizontal tube so that its fraction of length hh hangs freely and touches the surface of the table with its end BB (Fig. 1.47)). At a certain moment the end AA of the chain is set free. With what velocity will this end of the chain slip out of the tube?
