Three people are floating on a 120.-kg raft in the middle of a pond on a warm summer day. They decide to go swimming, and all jump off the raft at the same time and from evenly spaced positions around the perimeter of the raft. One person, with a mass of 62.0 kg, jumps off the raft at a speed of 12.0 m/s. The second person, of mass 73.0 kg, jumps off the raft at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The third person, of mass 55.0 kg, jumps off the raft at a speed of 11.0 m/s. At what speed does the raft drift from its original position?
