Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 17
In Fig. 9.23a, a 4.5 kg dog stands on an 18 kg flatboat at distance \( D = 6.1 \text{ m} \) from the shore. It walks 2.4 m along the boat toward shore and then stops. Assuming no friction between the boat and the water, find how far the dog is then from the shore. (Hint: See Fig. 9.23b.)
