draw the figure. Notice symettry will allow for two components of momentum perpendicular to the line of symettry will cancel, so what is left is 2*72*7*cos60
A 74-kg canoeist stands in the middle of her 18-kg canoe. The canoe is 3.0 m long, and the end that is closest to land is 2.5 m from the shore. The canoeist now walks toward the shore until she comes to the end of the canoe.
calculate the distance from the canoeist to shore.
