A particle of mass m is under the influence of a force $F$ which varies with the displacement $x$ according to the relation $F = - kx + {F_0}$ in which $k$ and ${F_0}$ are constants. The particle when disturbed will oscillate

(c) Restoring force is zero at mean position

$F = - Kx + {F_0}$$\Rightarrow$  $0 = - Kx + {F_0}$$\Rightarrow$ $x = \frac{{{F_0}}}{K}$

i.e. the particle will oscillate about $x = \frac{{{F_0}}}{K}$
