In Fig. a man stands on a boat floating in still water. The mass of the man and the boat is 60 kg and 120 kg , respectively. a. If the man walks to the front of the boat and stops. what is the separation between the boat and the pier now? b. If the man moves at a constant speed of 3 m//s relative to the boat, what is the total kinetic energy of the system (boat + man)? Compare this energy with the kinetic energy of the system if the boat was tied to the pier.

The current velocity of river grows in proportion to the distance from its bank and reaches the maximum value v_0 in the middle. Near the banks the velocity is zero. A boat is moving along the river in such a manner that the boatman rows his boat always perpendicular to the current. The speed of the boat in still water is u. Find the distance through which the boat crossing the river will be carried away by the current, if the width of the river is c. Also determine the trajectory of the boat.
