Potential energy function along xx-axis in a certain force field is given as U(x)=x44−2x3+112x2−6xU(x)=\frac{x^4}{4}-2 x^3+\frac{11}{2} x^2-6 x. For the given force field,

(i) the points of equilibrium are x=1,x=2x=1, x=2 and x=3x=3

(ii) the points x=2x=2 is a point of unstable equilibrium

(iii) the points x=1x=1 and x=3x=3 are points of stable equilibrium

(iv) there exists no point of neutral equilibrium Which one of the following is the set of correct options?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
Option B ((i), (ii), (iii), (iv)) is correct because all the statements are true based on the given potential energy function and its derivatives.
