(a) Sketch a potential energy function as a function of
position (one-dimensional) that has two stable equilibriums and one
unstable equilibrium. (b) For three different locations (none of
which should be a point of equilibrium), indicate the direction of
the force a particle at these locations would
experience.

Learning Goal: To be able to interpret potential energy diagrams
and predict the corresponding motion of a particle. Potential
energy diagrams for a particle are useful in predicting the motion
of that particle. These diagrams allow one to determine the
direction of the force acting on the particle at any point, the
points of stable and unstable equilibrium, the particle's kinetic
energy, etc. Consider the potential energy diagram shown. (Figure
