Question

You are standing at the very rear of a 6.0-m-long, 120-kg raft that is at rest in a lake with its prow only 0.50 m0.50 \mathrm{~m} from the end of the pier (Figure 5-87). Your mass is 60 kg60 \mathrm{~kg}. Neglect frictional forces between the raft and the water.

(c)(c) When you are at the front of the raft, how far are you from the end of the pier?
