A particle of mass $m$ is released from rest and follows a parabolic path as shown. Assuming that the displacement of the mass from the origin is small, which graph correctly depicts the position of the particle as a function of time?
Solution
Potential $V(x)$ versus $x$ is parabolic, SHM starts from extreme position and $x$ versus $t$ should be cosin curve so option (4) is correct.
