Solution

The correct option is B The speed of particle is maximum at x = 2m
F=dUdx=[5×2x20]=10x+20a=Fm=100x+200=100(x2)=100 X
Where, X=x-2
As a x, so the particle performs SHM
At mean position, X = 0, i.e. x = 2m, so speed of the particle is maximum at x = 2m.
Time period of oscillation is given by, ω2=100
2πT=10T=π5s
