A (alpha) and G (gamma) are shown above. AB is some line that crosses both AC and BC, and DC crosses BA perpendiculary and is in the same direction as the gravitional camp, which by convention points downside.
The chain will fall on the side of bigger cos*mass product:
if (cos A)*(mass of chain above AC) > (cos G)*(mass of chain above BC), it will fall to the left.
if (cos A)*(mass of chain above AC) < (cos G)*(mass of chain above BC), to the right.
Or I need to revise it again =P.
P.S.: Codification: making non-latin symbols fail to renderize since the beggining.
* Chrono agrees
yeah that looks right, if not i didnt learn anything from my engineering degree
