A particle of mass m is under the influence of a force F which varies with the displacement x according to the relation $F = -kx + F_0$ in which k and $F_0$ are constants. The particle when disturbed will oscillate
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Restoring force is zero at mean position
$F = -Kx + F_0$ ⇒ ⇒ $0 = -Kx + F_0$ ⇒ ⇒ $x = \frac{F_0}{k}$
i.e. the particle will oscillate about $x = \frac{F_0}{k}$
