A cart of mass M is tied to one end of a massless rope of length 10m. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass `(M)/(2)`. The entire ststem is on a smooth horizontal surface. If the man pulls the cart by the rope then find the distance by which the man will slip on the horizontal surface before the man and the cart will meet each other.

A

`(20)/(3)m`
