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 \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)): 
Refining is an industrial process of reducing the impurities of a substance. In simpler terms, refining is a process of purification of metals to remove the impurities from them to obtain the metals in the purest form.
There are various methods used in the refining process of metals. They are listed below-
