A person standing at one end of a stationary canoe floating on water.
A \(50\text{ kg}\) person stands at the bow of a \(150\text{ kg}\) canoe of length \(6.0\text{ m}\) that is initially at rest in calm water. The person walks along the entire \(6.0\text{ m}\) length of the canoe from the bow to the stern and comes to a complete stop. Assuming resistive drag forces exerted by the water on the canoe are negligible, what is the magnitude of the displacement of the canoe relative to the water?
