A particle of mass m is executing oscillations about the origin on the $X-$axis. Its potential energy is $U(x) = k{[x]^3}$, where $k$ is a positive constant. If the amplitude of oscillation is $a$, then its time period $T$ is
  • AProportional to $\frac{1}{{\sqrt a }}$
  • BIndependent of $a$
  • CProportional to $\sqrt a $
  • DProportional to ${a^{3/2}}$
