Question:

A small rowboat has a mass of 47 kg. When a 92-kg person gets into the boat, the boat floats 8.0 cm lower in the water. If the boat is then pushed slightly deeper in the water, it will bob up and down with simple harmonic motion (neglecting any friction). What will be the period of oscillation for the boat as it bobs around its equilibrium position?
