A mass of $$2000$$ kg is currently being lowered at a velocity of $$2$$ $$m/s$$ from the drum as shown in the figure. The mass moment of inertia of the drum is $$150$$ kg-m². On applying the brake, the mass is brought to rest in a distance of $$0.5$$ $$m.$$ The energy absorbed by the brake (in $$kJ$$) is __________________.
