Given, mass of particle $=100 g =0.1 kg$ potential energy, $U=5 x(x-4)$

$U=5 x^2-20 x$

Now, let force be $F$ :

$F=-\frac{d U}{d x}=-(10 x-20)$

Also, $\quad F=-k x$

So, $\quad f=-10(x-2)$.

To simplify, $\quad f=-10 x$

So, $-10 x $$=-k x $$ k $$=10 $

$k=10$

So, time period, $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{r}}$

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.1}{10}}$

$T=0.2 \pi sec$
