Answer:
The mass of the canoe is 51.93kg
Explanation:
We need to find the real dimension with the dates that are provided.
The canoe is 3.3m long, and the canoist is in the middle.
The canoe is 2.5m from the shore, so,
[tex]x_1= 2.5+(3.3)/2 =4.15m.[/tex]
There is a distance between shore and end of her canoe.
[tex]x_2=4.15-3.4= 0.75m[/tex]
There is a distance where the canoe will have moved by
[tex]x_{real} = x_2 - (3.3)/2 = 0.9m[/tex]
There is an equlibrium, so
[tex]0.75*62 = 0.9*m\\m=51.6kg[/tex]
The mass of the canoe is 51.93kg
