The potential energy U of a body of mass m is given by U = ax + by where x and y are the position coordinates of the particle, the net force acting on the particle is:

Answer»

`sqrt(a^(2) +B^(2))`
`sqrt(a+b)`
`(a^(2)+b^(2))`
`(a+b)`

Solution :`F_(x)=(-dU)/(DX)impliesF_(x)=-a`
`F_(y)=(-dU)/(dy)impliesF_(y)=-b`
:.`F=sqrt(F_(x)^(2)+F_(y)^(2))=sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2))`
Hence correct CHOICE is (a).
