A 9.6 kg dog takes a nap in a canoe and wakes up to find the canoe has drifted out onto the lake but now is stationary. He walks along the length of the canoe at 0.53 m/s, relative to the water, and the canoe simultaneously moves in the opposite direction at 0.12 m/s. What is the mass of the canoe?
