A man of mass m = 75 kg was initially sitting on one end of a small boat of length L = 3.5 m and mass M = 90 kg. The boat is largely symmetric so its center of mass is at its center. The boat is floating on water and resistance from water can largely be neglected. The man walks from one end of the boat to the other. During that process, the boat drifted in the opposite direction. L M d Before the man moves, what is the location of the COM of the man and boat system with respect to the left end of the boat?
