Answer:
m=57.65 kg
Explanation:
Given Data
Ricardo mass m₁=80 kg
Canoe mass m₂=30 kg
Canoe Length L= 3 m
Canoe moves x=40 cm
When Canoe was at rest the net total torque is zero.
Let the center of mass is at x distance from the canoe center and it will be towards the Ricardo cause. So the toque around the center of mass is given as
We have to find m₂.To find the value of m₂ first we need figure out the value of.As they changed their positions the center of mass moved to other side by distance 2x.
so
2x=40
x=40/2
x=20 cm
Substitute in the above equation we get
