$A$ particle moves under the influence of a force $F = -2x$ in one dimension (where $x$ is the distance of the particle from the origin). Assume that the potential energy of the particle at the origin is zero. The schematic diagram of the potential energy $U$ as a function of $x$ is given by:

Write the equation of total mechanical energy of a body having mass $m$ and stationary at height $H$.

$A$ uniform chain of length $2 \ m$ is placed on a table such that $60 \ cm$ of it hangs freely from the edge of the table. The total mass of the chain is $4 \ kg$. What is the work done in pulling the chain completely onto the table (in $J$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by $U(x) = \frac{a}{x^{12}} - \frac{b}{x^6}$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $x$ is the distance between the atoms. If the dissociation energy of the molecule is $D = [U(x = \infty) - U_{\text{at equilibrium}}]$,then $D$ is:
