$x \approx 0.232\,m$ .

Explanation:

First and second derivatives of the potential energy function are, respectively:

$\frac{dU}{dx} = 3\cdot A\cdot x^{2} + 2\cdot B\cdot x - C$

$\frac{d^{2}U}{dx^{2}} = 6\cdot A \cdot x + 2\cdot B$

Particular forms of the function and its derivatives are:

$U = 3.65\cdot x^{3}+3.25\cdot x^{2}-2.1\cdot x+ 3.6$

$\frac{dU}{dx} = 10.95\cdot x^{2} + 6.5\cdot x - 2.1$

$\frac{d^{2}U}{dx^{2}} = 21.9 \cdot x + 6.5$

Let find the roots associated with the first derivative by using the general formula of the second-orden polynomial:

$10.95\cdot x^{2} + 6.5\cdot x - 2.1 = 0$

$x_{1}\approx 0.232\,m, x_{2}\approx -0.825$

The values of the second derivatives evaluated in each solution are:

$\frac{d^{2}U}{dx^{2}} = 21.9 \cdot (0.232\,m) + 6.5$

$\frac{d^{2}U}{dx^{2}} = 11.581$

$\frac{d^{2}U}{dx^{2}} = 21.9 \cdot (-0.825) + 6.5$

$\frac{d^{2}U}{dx^{2}} = -11.568$

$x_{1}$ has an stable equilibrium solution. Hence, $x \approx 0.232\,m$ .

Answer from: smmailloux2335

Given Information:

Function = U = Ax³ + Bx² − Cx + D

A = 3.65 J/m³

B = 3.25 J/m²

C = 2.1 J/m

D = 3.6 J

Required Information:

Stable equilibrium position = X = ?

Stable equilibrium position = X₂ = 0.232

Explanation:

Stability can be determined by analyzing the slope of the function. First we will find out the first derivative of the given function and the equilibrium position will be at dU/dx = 0.

U = Ax³ + Bx² − Cx + D

U = 3.65x³ + 3.25x² − 2.1x + 3.6

dU/dx = 3*(3.65)x² + 2*(3.25)x - 2.1 + 0

dU/dx = 10.95x² + 6.5x - 2.1

10.95x² + 6.5x - 2.1 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation yields,

X₁ = -0.826

X₂ = 0.232

The stable point is the one for which the second derivative dU²/dx² > 0 and the unstable point is the one for which dU²/dx² < 0.

dU/dx = 10.95x² + 6.5x - 2.1

dU²/dx² = 2*(10.95)x + 6.5 - 0

dU²/dx² = 21.9x + 6.5

For X₁ = -0.826

dU²/dx² = 21.9(-0.826) + 6.5

dU²/dx² = -18.09 + 6.5

dU²/dx² = -11.59

Since dU²/dx² < 0, X₁ = -0.826 is the unstable point.

For X₂ = 0.232

dU²/dx² = 21.9(0.232) + 6.5

dU²/dx² = 5.08 + 6.5

dU²/dx² = 11.58

Since dU²/dx² > 0, X₂ = 0.232 is the stable point.

A potential energy function is given by U = A x3 + B x2 − C x + D . For positive parameters A, B, C,

The particle in a two-dimensional well is a useful model for the motion of electrons around the indole ring (3), the conjugated cycle found in the side chain of tryptophan. we may regard indole as a rectangle with sides of length 280 pm and 450 pm, with 10 electrons in the conjugated p system. as in case study 9.1, we assume that in the ground state of the molecule each quantized level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels. 9.27 electrons around the porphine ring (4), the conjugated macrocycle that forms the structural basis of the heme group and the chlorophylls. we may treat the group as a circular ring of radius 440 pm, with 20 electrons in the conjugated system moving along the perimeter of the ring. as in exercise 9.26, assume that in the ground state of the molecule quantized each level is occupied by two electrons.
