$A$ boat of mass $700 \,kg$ is travelling at a speed of $24 \,ms^{-1}$ when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of frictional force $f$ between the boat and water is given by $f = 35v$, where $v$ is the speed in $ms^{-1}$ and $f$ is in newton. Find the time taken for the speed of the boat to become $6 \,ms^{-1}$. (in $\,s$)

$A$ body is travelling with $10 \,ms^{-1}$ on a rough horizontal surface. Its velocity after $2 \,s$ is $4 \,ms^{-1}$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ block $B$ is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity $V$. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of sliding friction between $B$ and the surface,the block $B$ will come to rest after a time:

$A$ block of mass $m$ is pressed against a vertical wall by a horizontal force of magnitude $mg$. An upward force of magnitude $\frac{mg}{2}$ is also applied to the block. If the block is in equilibrium,the minimum coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the block and the wall is:
