A bead is constrained to move on a frictionless wire, placed in the x-y plane and under the influence of gravity. The shape of this wire is described by the equation y=a x^n , where x and y represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates respectively. The bead is released at a small distance away from the origin. The bead will oscillate around origin provided
