Paragraph :
When a particle of mass \(m\) moves on the \(x\)-axis in a potential of the form \(V(x)=k x^2\), it performs simple harmonic motion.


The corresponding time period is proportional to \(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\), as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of \(x=0\) in a way different from \(k x^2\) and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) moving on the \(x\)-axis. Its potential energy is \(V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)\) for \(|x|\) near the origin and becomes a constant equal to \(V_0\) for \(|x| \geq X_0\) (see figure).
Question :
The acceleration of this particle for \(|x|>X_0\) is

The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance.

When water is filled carefully in a glass, one can fill it to a height $h$ above the rim of the glass due to the surface tension of water. To calculate $h$ just before water starts flowing, model the shape of the water above the rim as a disc of thickness $h$ having semicircular edges, as shown schematically in the figure. When the pressure of water at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension, the water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of water, its surface tension and the acceleration due to gravity are ${10}^3\mathrm{kg}{\mathrm{m}}^{-3},0.07\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$ and $10\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}$ respectively, the value of $h$(in $\mathrm{mm}$)is ________.
