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 \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)):

Continuity & Differentiability
Definition of Differentiability
f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by
Definition of Continuity
Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a, if
It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.
If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
