34 The variation of potential energy U of a body movingalong x-axis varies with its position (x) as shown infigureThe body is in equilibrium state at(2) B(3) C(4) Both A & C

Answer»

A and C because energy is least there

Option (2) is correct.The body is in equilibrium at point B because the force acting on the body, given by slope of curve, at that point is zero. However, this is a condition of unstable equilibrium as any disturbance will reduce the potential energy of the system.
