$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0$. What is the period of the motion?

  • A
    $4\sqrt{\frac{2Am}{F}}$
  • B
    $2\sqrt{\frac{2Am}{F}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2Am}{F}}$
  • D
    None
