A chain of N monomers is attached to a small colloidal particle, and is pulled (at a velocity V) inside a polymer melt (chemically identical, with P monomers per chain). The main parameter for this problem is the number X(V) of P chains entangled with the (N) chain. Earlier estimates of X are criticized, and a new form is proposed: at large N(N > N-e(2)), we are led to a ''Stokes'' regime, X = N-1/2, while at smaller N (N < N-e(2)), we find a ''Rouse'' regime, X = N/N-e (where N-e is the number of monomers per entanglement).
