I have a object of mass m=5.34Kg. There is a force acting on the object F(x)=(5.0N/m[1][/2])*(x[1][/2])-(1.0N/m)*(x).
1)I need to find the position x0 where the mass is in a condition of stable equilibrium.
2)What is the frequency of oscillation around this position? How would this frequency change if the force was F(x)=(1.0N/m)(x)
Relevant equations:
F(x)=0 in order to get the position of stable equilibrium.
The attempt at a solution
I put the force F(x)=0 and I got x=0 and x=25 but I'm not sure this is the right way to do it.
For part 2 I'm a little confused, could give some hints?
thanks
