Mass of body $=2 \mathrm{~kg}$

From graph given at $x=0$ body is at rest $\mathrm{s}=0, v=0$

$\therefore$ impulse of force $=0$

In time interval $t=0$ to $t=4 \mathrm{sec}$

$x \rightarrow t$ graph is a straight line means body moves with constant velocity.

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{3-0}{4-0}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Impulse at $t=5$ second $=$ change in momentum

$=m(v-u)$

$=2\left(0-\frac{3}{4}\right)$

$=-\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}=-1.5 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
