$A$ body of mass $1 \,kg$ is moving with a velocity $10 \,ms^{-1}$ on a horizontal rough surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction $0.4$. If the constant force is removed, the body comes to rest in a time (Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$). (in $\,s$)

$A$ body of weight $64 \,N$ is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction are $0.6$ and $0.4$ respectively, the acceleration of the body is (Acceleration due to gravity $= g$)

It is difficult to move a cycle with brakes on because

$A$ block of mass $m=2 \ kg$ is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F_1=(6 \ N) \hat{i}$ and a vertical force $F_2=(10 \ N) \hat{j}$ are then applied to the block. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction for the block and the surface are $0.4$ and $0.25$, respectively. The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is (assume $g=10 \ m/s^2$): (in $N$)
