Chain force on table

0 pts pending
A chain is suspended vertically above a table, with the lower end of the chain just touching the table. The mass is 1.19 kg and the length is 0.97 m. Then the chain is released from rest and it falls to the table surface.

(A) What is the force on the table surface when one-half of the length of the chain has fallen onto the surface. Assume the chain does not bounce.

(B) What is the force on the table surface in the final instant while the chain is falling?
