The chain is supposed to be rotating bodily about a vertical axis with constant angular velocity, and to have taken up a shape of relative equilibrium; the links are like separate pendulums jointed together, and the condition is investigated where the chain is composed of one, two, three, or any number of such pendulum links; finally the passage is considered to the ultimate case of a chain of small links, which may be considered as a continuous flexible cord.
