A man of mass m = 75 kg was initially sitting on one end of a small boat of length L = 3.5 m and mass M = 90 kg. The boat is largely symmetric so its center of mass is at its center. The boat is floating on water and resistance from water can largely be neglected. The man walks from one end of the boat to the other. During that process, the boat drifted in the opposite direction. L M d Before the man moves, what is the location of the COM of the man and boat system with respect to the left end of the boat?

the driver of a car on a horizontal road makesan emergency stop by applying the brakes so that all four wheelslock and skid along the road.The coefficient of kinetic friction betweentires and road is 0.40.The separation between the front andrear axles is L = 4.2 m, and the center of mass of the car is locatedat distance d =1.8 m behind the front axle and distance h = 0.75 mabove the road. The car weighs 11 kN. Find the magnitude of (a)the braking acceleration of the car, (b) the normal force on eachrear wheel, (c) the normal force on each front wheel, (d) the brakingforce on each rear wheel, and (e) the braking force on eachfront wheel. (Hint: Although the car is not in translational equilibrium,it is in rotational equilibrium.)
A set of fossilized triceratops footprints discovered inTexas show that the front and rear feet were 3.2 m apart. The rearfootprints were observed to be twice as deep as the front footprints.Assuming that the rear feet pressed down on the ground with twicethe force exerted by the front feet, find the horizontal distance fromthe rear feet to the triceratops’s center of mass.

In a carrom game, a striker weighs three times the massof the other pieces, the carrom men and the queen,which each have a mass M. You shoot the striker witha speed V at the queen (which is at the center of theboard) directly parallel to the rail that runs along the xaxis, hoping to pocket the queen in the bottom rightcorner. Assume the carrom board has edges that layalong the x- and y-axes and the board itself is inquadrant I and that the collision is elastic.If you make the shot, what is the relative velocity of thequeen with respect to the striker after the collision?[Answer: −??̂ ]

The space shuttle is located in "deep space," where the effects of gravity can be neglected. It has a mass of 170 Mg a center of mass at G, and a radius of gyration (kc) = 15 m about the z axis. It is originally traveling forward at v=3 km/s when the pilot turns on the engine at A, creating a thrust T=600(1-e) kN, where t is in seconds. (Figure 1) Figure e-3 km/s G 1 of 1 2m P
