Suppose two friends, with masses m2 = 1.3 m1, are on a perfectly smooth, frictionless, frozen lake.
They are both holding the end of a rope of length Lo .
a. Find the position of the center of mass, in terms
of Lo , from the smaller person.
b. If the two pull half of the rope in such that the final length of the rope is L = Lo/2, find the new position of the center of mass from the smaller person.
c. Find the distance each person moves from their original positions.
