Question

A particle of mass m moves along a frictionless, horizontal plane with a speed given by
v(x) = a/x, where xis its distance from the origin and ais a positive constant. Find the force
F(s) to which the particle is subject.

Given that the velocity of a particle in rectilinear motion varies with the displacement x
according to the equation
2.8
i = bx
where b is a positive constant, find the force acting on the particle as a function of x.
(Hint: F = mä = må dildx.)
