The potential energy of a body is given by, \(U = A – Bx^2\) (where x is the displacement). The magnitude of force acting on the particle is : |
Proportional to x Constant Inversely proportional to x Proportional to x2 |
Proportional to x |
Force is given by : \(F = \frac{dU}{dx}\) \(F = \frac{d}{dx}(A - Bx^2)\) \(F = -2Bx\) \(\Rightarrow F \propto x\) |
