Assertion :Mean positon of SHM is the stable equlibrium position. Reason: In stable equilibrium , position potential energy is minimum.

A : The potential energy can be defined only in conservative field. R : The value of potential energy depends on the reference level (level of zero potential energy).

When dipole moment vec(p) of a dipole is parallel to electric field intensity vec(E ) (stable equilibrium) the potential energy of dipole is

A particle in a certain conservative force field has a potential energy given by V=(20xy)/z . The force exerted on it is

A particle of mass 1.5 kg moves along x-axis in a conservative force field. Its potential energy is given by V(x)=2x^(3)-9x^(2)+12x, where all quantities are written in SI units. The plot of this potential energy is given below. It is seen that the particle can be in stable equilibrium at a point on x-axis, x_(0). When it is displaced slightly from this equilibrium position, It executes SHM with time period T. What is the time period of SHM mentioned in the paragraph?
