A trolley is moving horizontally with a velocity of v m/s w.r.t. earth. A man starts running in the direction of motion of trolley from one end of the trolley with a velocity 1.5v m/s w.r.t. the trolley. After reaching the opposite end, the man turns back and continues running with a velocity of 1.5 v m/s w.r.t. trolley in the backward direction. If the length of the trolley is L, then the displacement of the man with respect to earth, measured as a function of time, will attain a maximum value of
