$A$ uniform chain of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table and one-third of its length is hanging vertically down over the edge of the table. If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,the work required to pull the hanging part onto the table is:

  • A
    $MgL$
  • B
    $\frac{MgL}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{MgL}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{MgL}{18}$
