A chain lying on an absolutely smooth table, half of it hanging over the edge of the table as shown in figure $(a)$. The time it takes to slip off the table is affected if two equal weights be attached, one to each end as shown in figure $(b)$ .
$t_a$ : time taken to slip in situation $'a'$
$t_b$ : time taken to slip in situation $'b'$
