Walker, Halliday & Resnick β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 16
16 Ricardo, of mass 80 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 30 kg canoe. When the canoe is at rest in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 3.0 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoeβs center. If the canoe moves 45 cm horizontally relative to a pier post, what is Carmelitaβs mass?
