Question

A 40.0-kg child stands at
one end of a 70.0-kg boat that is 4.00 m long (Fig. P8.77).
The boat is initially 3.00 m from the pier. The child notices a
turtle on a rock beyond the far end of the boat and proceeds
to walk to that end to catch the turtle. (a) Neglecting friction
between the boat and water, describe the motion of the system
(child plus boat). (b) Where will the child be relative to
the pier when he reaches the far end of the boat? (c) Will he
catch the turtle? (Assume that he can reach out 1.00 m from
the end of the boat.)
