Q: A particle of mass m moves rectilinearly due to force F = F0 – bx, where F0 and b are positive constants, x is the distance from the point, where the particle was initially at rest. Find the distance covered by the particle till the moment it came stand still.

(a) F0/b

(b) 2F0/b

(c) 3F0/b

(d) F0/2b

Ans: (b)
