Detailed Solution

As we know, $d U = - F . d r, U = \int_{0}^{r} α r^{2} d r = \frac{α r^{3}}{3} ...... (i)$

As, $\frac{m v^{2}}{r} = α r^{2}, m^{2} v^{2} = m α r^{3}, o r, (K E) = \frac{1}{2} α r^{3} ........ (i i)$

Total energy potential energy + kinetic energy Now, from equation (i) and (ii)
Total energy $= K . E + P . E = \frac{α r^{3}}{3} + \frac{α r^{3}}{2} = \frac{5}{6} α r^{3}$
