Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, Instructor-Solutions Manual [EXP-788]

The man M has weight ${ W }_{ M }$ and jumps onto the boat B which has weight ${ W }_{ B }$ . If he has a horizontal component of velocity v relative to the boat, just before he enters the boat, and the boat is traveling at speed ${ v }_{ B }$ away from the pier when he makes the jump, determine the resulting velocity of the man and boat. Given: ${ W }_{ M }$ = 150 lb , ${ v }_{ B }$ = 2 ft/s , ${ W }_{ B }$ = 200 lb , g = ${ 32.2ft/s }^{ 2 }$ , v = 3 ft/s
