A particle is confined to move along the x axis under the action of a force F x that is derivable from the potential U x ax bx 1 Find the expression for F x 3ax b ii When the total energy of the particle is zero the particle can be trapped with in the interval x 0 to x x For this case find the values of x Pla iii Determine the maximum kinetic energy that the trapped particle has in its motion Express all answers in terms a and b At what value of x will the kinetic energy be maximum 26 3 Xo X1 X
