A block of mass $5\, kg$ is kept on a rough horizontal floor. It is given a velocity $33\, m/s$ towards right. A force of $20\sqrt {2\,} \,N$ continuously acts on the block as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction between block and floor is $0.5$ the velocity of block after $3\, seconds$ is ........ $m/s$  ($g = 10\, m/s^2$)

A rectangular box lies on a rough inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the box is $\mu $. Let the mass of the box be $m$.
