In Figure (a), a 4.4 kg dog stands on a 14 kg flatboat at a distance D = 7.3 m from the shore. He walks 1.7 m along the boat toward shore and then stops. Assuming no friction between the boat and the water, find how far the dog is then from the shore. (Hint: See Figure (b). The dog moves leftward and the boat moves rightward, but does the center of mass of the boat + dog system move?)
