Q2. A fisherman in a boat catches a great white shark with a harpoon. The shark struggles for a while and then becomes limp when at a distance of 300 m from the boat. The fisherman pulls the shark by the rope attached to the harpoon. During this operation, the boat (initially at rest) moves 45 m in the direction of the shark. The mass of the boat is 5400 kg. What is the mass of the shark? Pretend that the water exerts no friction. (mshark = 953 kg)
