    $A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Find minimum time it will take to reach from $x = - \frac{A}{2}$ to $0$.
