Problem-4P6 A pig of mass m = 12 kg lives in the left side of a rectangular box of mass M = 120 kg and length =22 m sitting in gravity-free empty space, as shown at right. Through a porthole, the pig spots a meteor ap- proaching, and calculates it will strike the box a distance d = 3.0 m from the right-hand end. Is there anything the pig can do to prevent the collision, if it can only move along the length of the box? pig meteor Problem-4P6 A pig of mass m = 12 kg lives in the left side of a rectangular box of mass M = 120 kg and length =22 m sitting in gravity-free empty space, as shown at right.
