$A$ body of mass $10\,kg$ is moving with an initial speed of $20\,m/s$. The body stops after $5\,s$ due to friction between the body and the floor. The value of the coefficient of friction is (Take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at one end of the rod such that the rod is just in the state of rest. The coefficient of friction varies according to the relation $\mu = Kx$,where $K$ is a positive constant and $x$ is the distance from the end where the force is not applied. Find the tension at the midpoint of the rod.
