The correct answer is:
72 g
$\begin{aligned} & \text { As } \mathrm{J}_{\mathrm{CW}}=\mathrm{J}_{\mathrm{ACW}} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{mg} \times 4=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~g} \times 36 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4 \mathrm{~m}=8 \times 10^{-3} \times 36 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{m}=72 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}=72 \mathrm{gm}\end{aligned}$
