•40 The potential energy of a diatomic molecule (a two-atom system like H2 or O2) is given by B r12 where r is the separation of the two atoms of the molecule and A and B are positive constants. This potential energy is associated with the force that binds the two atoms together. (a) Find the equilib- rium separation-that is, the distance between the atoms at which the force on each atom is zero. Is the force repulsive (the atoms are pushed apart) or attractive (they are pulled together) if their separa- tion is (b) smaller and (c) larger than the equilibrium separation?

Recall that the work WW done by a constant force F⃗ F→ at an angle θθ to the displacement Δr⃗ Δr→ is W=F⃗ ⋅Δr⃗ =FΔrcosθW=F→⋅Δr→=FΔrcos⁡θ. The vector magnitudes FF and ΔrΔr are always positive, so the sign of WW is determined entirely by the angle θθ between the force and the displacement.
