A plank is being pushed on a frictionless horizontal floor with a constant velocity `u=1.5m/s` .When a block is gently placed on the plank,it slides for a while,acquires velocity of the plank and then moves together with the plank.If the agency pushing the plank has to do a work W = 11.25 J during the sliding of the block,find mass of the block in kg.
