PE of a particle is U(x) = x2a−xb. Find the time period of small oscillation.
A
2πb48a3m
B
2πb48b3m
C
2πb38a4m
D
2πa38b4m
Answer
2πb48a3m
Explanation
Solution
The equilibrium position isdxdu=0 =>x03−2a+x02b = 0
or x0 =b2a
u(x) =x02a−x0b+(x−x0)dxdUx=x0
21(x−x0)2dx2d2ux=x0
dx2d2ux=x0=x046a−x032b=(b2a)46a−(b2a)32b=8a3b4
Thus, u{x) = U(x0) +21(8a3b4)y2
Comparing with 21mω2y2=218a3b4y2
ω=8a3mb4
or T = 2πb48a3m
