From that information, I can tell that the force pushing on the mass averaged (282 and 1/3) newtons during those 24 seconds.  But the information doesn't nail down what the mass must be.I think it would if we only knew something about the friction.Either tell us how much friction there is, or tell us that there's none, and I think I could find the mass.

power = work / timework = force * displacementforce = mass * gravityso: power = (mass * gravity * displacement) / time726 = (mass * 9.81 * 36 ) / 14 726 * 14 = mass * 9.81 * 3610164 = mass * 353.16mass = 10164 / 353.16mass = 28.78 kg
