Question

The force acting on a body moving along x-axis varies with the position of the particle as shown in the fig

The body is in stable equilibrium at

  1. x equals x subscript 1 end subscript    
  2. x equals x subscript 2 end subscript    
  3. Both x subscript 1 end subscript and x subscript 2 end subscript    
  4. Neither x subscript 1 end subscript nor x subscript 2 end subscript    

The correct answer is: x equals x subscript 2 end subscript


    When particle moves away from the origin then at position x equals x subscript 1 end subscript force is zero and at x greater than x subscript 1 end subscript, force is positive (repulsive in nature) so particle moves further and does not return back to original position i. e. the equilibrium is not stable Similarly at position x equals x subscript 2 end subscript force is zero and at x greater than x subscript 2 end subscript, force is negative (attractive in nature) So particle return back to original position i. e. the equilibrium is stable

    Let A be a set containing 10 distinct elements, then the total number of distinct functions from A to A is-

    The domain is defined as the set which is to input in a function. We say that input values satisfy a function. The range is defined as the actual output supposed to be obtained by entering the domain of the function.
    Co-domain is defined as the values that are present in the right set that is set Y, possible values expected to come out after entering domain values.
