A raft of mass M with a man of mass m aboard stays motionless on the surface of a lake. The man moves a distance `l^'` relative to the raft with velocity `v^'(t)` and then stops. Assuming the water resitance to be negligible, find:
(a) the displacement of the raft 1 relative to the shore,
(b) the horizontal component of the force with which the man acted on the raft during the motion.

A man of mass m_1 stands on the edge of a horizontal uniform disc of mass m_2 and radius R which is capable of rotating freely about a stationary vertical axis passing through its centre. At a certain moment the man starts moving along the edge of the disc, he shifts over an angle varphi^' relative to the disc and then stops. In the process of motion the velocity of the man varies with time as v^'(t) . Assuming the dimensions of the man to be negligible, find: (a) the angle through which the disc had turned by the moment the man stopped, (b) the force moment (relative to the rotation axis) with which the man acted on the disc in the process of motion.
