Question 44

A particle rests in equilibrium under two forces of repulsion whose centres are at distances of $$a$$ and $$b$$ from the particle. The forces vary as the cube of the distance. The forces per unit mass are $$k$$ and $$k'$$ respectively. If the particle be slightly displaced towards one of them the motion is simple harmonic with the time period equal to
