Question: A raft of mass M with a man of mass m aboard stays motion-less on the surface of a lake. The man moves a distance

A raft of mass M with a man of mass m aboard stays motion-less on the surface of a lake. The man moves a distance l' relative to the raft with velocity v'(t) and then stops. Assuming the water resistance to be negligible, find:
(a) The displacement of the raft l relative to the shore;
(b) The horizontal component of the force with which the man acted on the raft during the motion.
