To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum. ### Step 1: Understand the system We have a man of mass \( m \) standing on a platform of mass \( M \) on smooth ice. Initially, both the man and the platform are at rest. ### Step 2: Define the velocities - Let \( v \) be the velocity of the man relative to the platform. - Let \( V \) be the velocity of the platform relative to the ice. ...
