1.	The potential energy for a conservative system is given by U = ax^2 - bx where a and b are positive constants. The law of the force governing the system is
Answer» F = CONSTANT `F = bx – 2A ` `F = b - 2ax ` `F = 2ax ` SOLUTION :In a conservative field, `F = -(dU)/(dx)` `:. F = - d/(dx) (ax^2 - bx) = - (2ax - b) = b - 2ax`.
