Work Power and Energy

The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by $U\left( x \right) = {a \over {{x^{12}}}} - {b \over {{x^6}}},$ where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $x$ is the distance between the atoms. If the dissociation energy of the molecule is $D = \left[ {U\left( {x = \infty } \right) - {U_{at\,\,equilibrium}}} \right],\,\,D$ is
