A block of mass $5\, kg$ is on a rough horizontal surface and is at rest. Now a force of $24\, N $is imparted to it with negligible impulse. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.4$ and $g = 9.8\,m/{s^2}$, then the acceleration of the block is ........ $m/s^2$

A block is moving on an inclined plane making an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The force required to just push it up the inclined plane is $3$ times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down. If we define $N=10 \ \mu$, then $N$ is
