A 6.1-Mg truck is resting on the deck of a barge which displaces 250 Mg and is at rest in still water. If the truck starts and drives toward the bow at a speed relative to the barge Vrel = 6.9 km/h, calculate the speed v of the barge. The resistance to the motion of the barge through the water is negligible at low speeds. U'rel = 6.9 km/h 6.1 Mg 250 Mg - Answer: v = km/h
