Abstract
The general motion of a flexible chain sliding from a horizontal surface is analysed. It is shown that the introduction of friction produces no new features in the solution if a suitable coordinate transformation is affected. Indeed a universal function is introduced which gives the sliding time of any chain from a horizontal surface for all surfaces and initial conditions.
