A bullet from a gun is fired on a rectangular wooden block with velocity \(u\). When bullet travels \(24\) cm through the block along its length horizontally, velocity of bullet becomes \(u/3\). Then it further penetrates into the block in the same direction before coming to rest exactly at the other end of the block. The total length of the block is:
1. \(30\) cm
2. \(27\) cm
3. \(24\) cm
4. \(28\) cm
