- Equilibrium
A block of certain mass is placed on a rough floor. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are 0.4 and 0.25 respectively. A constant horizontal force \( F = 20 \, \text{N} \) acts on it so that the velocity of the block varies with time according to the following graph. The mass of the block is nearly (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)):

- A random experiment has five outcomes \(w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4, w_5\). The probabilities of the occurrence of the outcomes \(w_1, w_2, w_4, w_5\) are respectively \( \frac{1}{6}, a, b, \frac{1}{12} \) such that \(12a + 12b - 1 = 0\). Then the probabilities of occurrence of the outcome \(w_3\) is:

Concepts Used:
Parturition and Lactation
Parturition:
It is the process of the contraction of the uterus at regular intervals that helps in the delivery of the baby at the end of pregnancy. The signals that the fully developed fetus sends through the placenta for ejection is called Foetal ejection reflex. These signals induce muscular contractions.
The time period from fertilization to childbirth is called the gestation period.
Lactation:
It is the process of production of milk by the mammary glands at the end of pregnancy. The milk produced initially by the glands is called colostrum. This milk is crucial for the baby as it provides the child with initial immunity.
