Three forces, F1 = 3 i N, F2 = (- 2 i + 3 j) N and F3 = (F3x i + F3y j) N act on a particle at the origin of the xy coordinate system. If the sum of the three forces is zero what are the x and y components of F3?

A particle moves in one-dimensional motion through a field for which the potential energy of the particle-field system is $$ U(x)=\frac{A}{x^{3}}-\frac{B}{x} $$ where $A=0.150 \mathrm{eV} \cdot \mathrm{nm}^{3}$ and $B=3.68 \mathrm{eV} \cdot \mathrm{nm} .$ The general shape of this function is shown in Figure 43.11 where $x$ replaces $r$ (a) Find the static equilibrium position $x_{0}$ of the particle. (b) Determine the depth $U_{0}$ of this potential well. (c) In moving along the $x$ axis, what maximum force toward the negative $x$ direction does the particle experience?
