Problem

The displacement of a particle is expressed as x(t)=pt3+qt+rx(t)=p t^{3}+q t+r, where p,q,rp, q, r are constants. The particle is required to move with uniform velocity of 6 m/s6\,\text{m/s} for all time. Which one of the following pairs (p,q)(p, q) (in SI units) satisfies this requirement? (a) (2, 0)(2,\,0) (b) (1, 6)(1,\,6) (c) (0, 6)(0,\,6) (d) (−2, 10)(-2,\,10)
