    ok I am clarifying the case..when the chain is in intial position and touches the table, then I have taken L/2 length ...because in case of chain problem, when it is in the vertical Position initially, then you have to take L/2 height...And so mg L/2...And After that when half of the length is in table, then I have taken half of length of L/2, that is L/4...In this case mass is also half..m/2 so m/2 gL/4...
