Figure 3 di A Tyrannosaurus named Rex was having a birthday. He was standing on one end of a cart that rolled without friction on a level floor. The cart had length L and a mass of mc = 3300 kg. Rex had a mass of 4640 kilograms. Rex really wanted that birthday cake. When he was on one end of the cart (the end that is farthest from the cake), the distance from his nose to the cake was d1 = 21.8 meters. As he walked to the other end of the cart (the end closest to the cake) the cart was free to roll without friction or other external forces. After he walked to the other end of the cart, he was disappointed to find out that his nose was still a distance of d2 = 14.8 meters from the cake. Calculate the length L of the cart in units of meters.
