At one end of a weightless rope of length 10 m, a car of mass M is tied. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass M. The arrangement stands on a horizontal frictionless surface. The man is at x=0 and the car is at x =10 m. As the man pulls the car with the rope locate the point where they meet.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
