The boy B jumps off the canoe at A with a velocity { v }_{ BA } relative to the canoe as shown. If he lands in the second canoe C, determine the final speed of both canoes after the motion. Each canoe has a mass { M }_{ c } . The boy’s mass is { M }_{ B } , and the girl D has a mass { M }_{ D } . Both canoes are originally at rest.Given: { M }_{ c } = 40 kg , { M }_{ B } = 30 kg , { M }_{ D } = 25 kg , { v }_{ BA } = 5 m s , θ = 30 deg
