If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$,find the time (in $s$) taken by the body to reach the bottom. $\left[ g = 9.8 \, m/s^2, \sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5, \cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866 \right]$

$A$ body having a specific charge of $8\,\mu \text{C/g}$ is resting on a frictionless plane at a distance of $10\,\text{cm}$ from a wall. It starts moving towards the wall when a uniform electric field of $100\,\text{V/m}$ is applied horizontally toward the wall. If the collision of the body with the wall is perfectly elastic,then the time period of the motion will be (in seconds):
