Restoring Force and Simple Harmonic Motion
For a mass-spring system, suppose the restoring force is described by the equation F = -kx^3 instead of Hooke’s Law, F = -kx. Which of the following is a direct consequence of this modification?

The total energy would decrease over time
B
The system would have multiple equilibrium positions
C
The period would be independent of amplitude
D
The motion would not be simple harmonic
