$A$ particle has a total mechanical energy that is small and negative. It is under the influence of a one-dimensional potential $U(x) = \frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2} \, J$,where $x$ is in meters. At time $t = 0 \, s$,it is at $x = -0.5 \, m$. Then,at a later time,it can be found:

If a body has a potential energy of $(4x^2 + 2x) \,J$ at a position $x = 2 \,m$, then the force acting on the body is: (in $\,N$)
