Two perons of masses `55` kg and `65` kg respectively, are at the opposite ends of a boat. The length of the boat is `3` m and weight `100` kg. The `55` kg man walks upto the `65` kg man and with him. If the boat is in still water the centre of mass of the system shifts by

A

zero

B

0.75 m

C

3.0 m

D

2.3 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since net external force on the system is zero hence C.O.M. remains unchanged.
