An interesting phenomenon occuring in certain pulsars is an event known as a "spin glitch," that is, a quick change in the spin
rate of the pulsar due to a shift in mass location and a resulting rotational change in inertia. imagine a pulsar whose radius is 10 km and whose period of rotation is 25.03 ms. the rotation period is observed to suddenly decrease from 25.03 ms to 25.027 ms. if that decrease was caused by a contraction of the star, by what amount would the pulsar radius have had to shrink?

Answer:
0.64 m
Explanation:
The first thing is calculate the center of mass of the system.
now multiplying every coordinate x by the mass of each object (romeo, juliet and the boat) and dividing all by the total mass taking by reference the position of juliet.
X_cm = 1.4589 m
When the forces involved are internals, the center of mass don't change
After the movement the center of mass remains in the same distance from the shore, but change relative to the rear of the boat.
X_cm= 2.10 m
this displacement is how the boat move toward the shore.
2.10-1.46= 0.64 m
