INTRODUCTION
Chains are incredibly versatile and ubiquitous objects that have played a crucial role in
human civilization for centuries. At their most basic level, chains are a series of interconnected
metal links or rings that form a flexible, linear structure. While simple in design, chains have
found countless applications across various industries and aspects of daily life.
One of the primary uses of chains is in the realm of mechanics and machinery. Chains are
employed in countless mechanical systems, from bicycle chains that transfer power from the
pedals to the wheels, to heavy-duty chains used in construction equipment and industrial machin-
ery. Their strength, durability, and ability to transfer force make them invaluable components in
many mechanical operations.
Beyond their mechanical applications, chains have also served as essential tools in nu-
merous industries. In agriculture, chains are used to secure and lift heavy loads, such as bales of
hay or farm equipment. In maritime operations, chains anchor ships and support various nautical
equipment. Even in the fashion industry, chains have been incorporated into jewelry and acces-
sories, adding a touch of edginess or industrial chic to personal styles.
However, chains have also carried darker connotations throughout history. They have
been used as instruments of oppression and imprisonment, symbolizing captivity and the loss of
freedom. The weight and strength of chains have made them effective restraints, although their
usage in such contexts has been widely condemned as inhumane and oppressive.
Despite their complex history, chains remain indispensable tools in modern society, serv-
ing diverse purposes and embodying both functional and symbolic significance. From the deli-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Without the help and encouragement of those who happened to volunteer some of their
time, advice, and expertise, it would not have been possible to meet this need. Their insightful
observations functioned as a compass, offering guidance and definition all along the way to
fulfilling this need. Their dedication to providing advice enhanced the procedure, transforming
obstacles into chances for development and education.
Recognizing the cooperative efforts of peers and colleagues is also important. Their
assistance whether in the form of group brainstorming sessions, helpful criticism, or practical
help was crucial to the project's successful completion. Their commitment created a culture of
cooperation and mutual success in a group setting. In addition, acknowledgement is given to
advisors and mentors whose guidance was crucial in forming the strategy and procedures used to
address this need. Their knowledge, support, and dedication to promoting both individual and
group development have made a lasting impression on the trip.
Finally, appreciation is given to friends and family whose unwavering support and
understanding made it possible to overcome obstacles and pursue this endeavor. Their support
and conviction in the significance of the current task have served as a source of resilience and
drive.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
A 5/8-in. roller chain is used on a hoist to lift & 500-lb. load through 14 ft. in 24 sec. at constant
velocity. If the load on the chain is doubled during the speed-up period, compute the factor of
safety (a) based on the chain's ultimate strength, (b) based on its fatigue strength. (c) At the given
speed, what is the chain's rated capacity (N - 20 teeth) in hp? Compare with the power needed at
the constant speed. Does it look as though the drive will have a "long" life?
