$A$ metallic block of mass $20 \ kg$ is dragged with a uniform velocity of $0.5 \ ms^{-1}$ on a horizontal table for $2.1 \ s$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is $0.10$. What will be the maximum possible rise in temperature of the metal block if the specific heat of the block is $0.1 \ cal \ g^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ (in $^{\circ} C$)? Assume $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and a uniform rise in temperature throughout the whole block. [Ignore absorption of heat by the table]
