The force of interaction between two atoms in certain diatomic molecules can be represented by F = a/r 2 + b/r 3 in which a and b are positive constants and r is the separation distance of the atoms. Make a graph o F versus r. Then (a) show that the separation at equilibrium is b/a; (b) show that for small oscillations about this equilibrium separation the force constant is a 4 /b 3 ; (c) find the period of this motion.
