Question

In the figure here, a stationary block explodes into two pieces L and R that slide across a frictionless floor and then into regions with friction, where they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 1.8 kg, encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction ?L = 0.37 and slides to a stop in distance dL = 0.34 m. Piece R encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction?R = 0.37 and slides to a stop in distance dR = 0.46 m. What was the mass of the block?
