3. A particle \(P\) of mass 0.4 kg is moving on rough horizontal ground when it hits a fixed vertical plane wall. Immediately before hitting the wall, \(P\) is moving with speed \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in a direction perpendicular to the wall. The particle rebounds from the wall and comes to rest at a distance of 5 m from the wall. The coefficient of friction between \(P\) and the ground is \(\frac { 1 } { 8 }\).
Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted on \(P\) by the wall.
