A 53-kg womancontestant on a reality television show is at rest at the south endof a horizontal 149-kg raft that isfloating in crocodile-infested waters. She and the raft areinitially at rest. She needs to jump from the raft to a platformthat is several meters off the north end of the raft. She takes arunning start. When she reaches the north end of the raft she isrunning at 4.1 m/s relativeto the raft. At that instant, what is her velocity relative to the water?
