A `50 kg` man is standing at one end of a `3 m` long plank of mass `100 kg`. The plank is sliding towards the right with uniform velocity of 2 m / s on the frictionless horizontal ground. The man walks to the other end of the plank in 5s. Find the distance travelled (in `m` ) by the man'relative to the ground in this 5 s interval.
