Two men to masses `80kg` and `60kg` are standing on a wood plank of mass `100kg`, that has been placed over a smooth surface. If both the men start moving towards each other with speeds `1m//s` and `2 m//s` respectively then find the velocity of the plank by which it starts moving.

A horizontal turn table of mass 90kg is free to rotate about a vertical axis passing through its centre. Two men – 1 and 2 of mass 50kg and 60kg respectively are standing at diametrically opposite point on the table. The two men start moving towards each other with same speed (relative to the table) along the circumference. Find the angle rotated by table by the time the two men meet. Treat the men as point masses.
