$A$ block of mass $m$ is given a velocity $20\ m/s$ on a horizontal rough surface of length $x\ m$. After the rough surface,there is a vertical circular path of radius $R = 2\ m$ which is frictionless. The block enters the circular path with the minimum velocity required to complete the path. Find the length of the rough surface $x$ if the coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.5$.

  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
