The problem of N quantum-mechanical equal particles interacting pairwise by inverse-cube forces (``centrifugal potential'') in addition to linear forces (``harmonical potential'') is considered in a onedimensional space. An explicit expression for the ground-state energy and for the corresponding wavefunction is exhibited. A class of excited states is similarly displayed.
