Students, ask a physics question. A chain is only acted by gravity, so what kind of curve and mathematical equation does this chain form?
Fixed plumb line at one end

Catenary y-y0 fixed at both ends = acosh [(x-x0)/a]

Of course, the fixed point is stressed, not just gravity.

If it is really only affected by gravity, we can only know that its centroid motion is oblique throwing \ flat throwing \ free falling, and its shape is related to initial conditions.
