Two barges, each with a displacement (mass) of500 Mg, are loosely moored in calm water

Chapter 3, Problem 3/214

(choose chapter or problem)

Two barges, each with a displacement (mass) of 500 Mg, are loosely moored in calm water. A stunt driver starts his 1500-kg car from rest at A, drives along the deck, and leaves the end of the \(15^{\circ}\) ramp at a speed of 50 km / h relative to the barge and ramp. The driver successfully jumps the gap and brings his car to rest relative to barge 2 at B. Calculate the velocity \(v_{2}\) imparted to barge 2 just after the car has come to rest on the barge. Neglect the resistance of the water to motion at the low velocities involved.
