Physics

In the figure here, a stationary block explodes into two piecesL and R that slide across a frictionless floor and then intoregions with friction, where they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 2.5kg, encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction μL = 0.43 andslides to a stop in distance dL = 0.38 m. Piece R encounters acoefficient of kinetic friction μR = 0.45 and slides to a stop indistance dR = 0.40 m. What was the mass of the block?
