A bomb of mass 3 m is kept inside a closed box of mass 3 m and length 4 L at its centre. It explodes in two parts of mass m and 2 m. The two parts move in opposite directions and stick to the opposite sides of the walls of box. The box is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the distance moved by the box during this time interval?
