You jump from the deck of a boat to a nearby dock. The deck of the boat is parallel to the dock when you jump and the direction of your velocity as you jump is 30 $30$degree above the horizontal. If the boat was stationary when you jumped and 1.5$1\mathrm{.}5$ m away from the dock, what is the horizontal speed of the boat ($($in m/$/$s)$)$ after you jump to the dock? Assume that your mass is 79$79$ kg,$,$ the mass of the boat is 1,488$1,488$ kg,$,$ and you jump with the minimum speed required to reach the dock.
