bead on a frictionless wire shaped into a vertically
oscillating sine curve. Write down an
expression for the gravitational potential energy of the bead. Find
the expression for the component of
the gravitational force pulling the bead along the wire. Use this
to find the stable and unstable
equilibrium points for the bead. Graph the potential energy and the
force, and explain how the graphs
show the same equilibrium points that you calculated
