Answer
Water
Reason — Speed of light in inversely proportional to its refractive index, hence, speed of light in water is maximum as its refractive index is lowest.

A woman pushes a trunk on a railway platform which has a rough surface. She supplies a force of 100 N over a distance of 10 m. Thereafter, she gets progressively tired and her applied force reduces linearly with distance to 50 N. The total distance by which the trunk has been moved is 20 m.
If frictional force between trunk and rough surface is 50 N, then calculate the net work done by the two forces over 20 m.
