Oscillation motion
Question

Under the action of a force F =-kx3, the motion of a particle is (k = a positive constant)

Easy
Solution

At x = 0, F = 0. For x > 0, force is in negative direction and for x < 0, force is in positive x-direction. Therefore,
motion of the particle is periodic about mean position x = 0.
