A particle of mas 10g is placed in a potential field given by` U=(500x^(2)+100)` erg `//` gm. Calculate the frequency of oscillation.

Answer» Potential energy of 10 gram particle is `U=10(50x^(2)+100)` erg. The force acting on the particle is given by
`F=-(dU)/(dr)=-(d)/(dr)(500x^(2)+1000)`
`=-1000x,` But `F=m(d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))`
`:.m (d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=-1000x or (d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=-(1000x)/(m)`
`=-(1000x)/(10)=-100x`
As`(d^(2)x)/(dt^(2))=-omega^(2)x, so omega^(2)=100 or omega=sqrt(100)`
Frequency of oscillation,
`v=(omega)/(2pi)=(sqrt(100))/(2pi)=1.59s^(-1)`
