Question

A particle of mass l0 gm is placed in a potential field given by V = (50x2 + 100) J/kg. The frequency of oscillation in cycle/sec is

Moderate
Solution

Potential energy U = mV

U = (50x2+100)10-2

     F = -dUdx = -(100x)10-2

2x = -(100 ×10-2)x

   10×10-3ω2x = 100×10-2 x

ω2 = 100 ω = 10

f = ω2π = 102π= 5π
