# Initiliation of variables
m_g=3000 # kg # mass of the gun
m_s=50 # kg # mass of the shell
v_s=300 # m/s # initial velocity of shell
s=0.6 # m # distance at which the gun is brought to rest
v=0 # m/s # initial velocity of gun
# Calculations
# On equating eq'n 1 & eq'n 2 we get v_g as,
v_g=(m_s*v_s)/(-m_g) # m/s
# Using v^2-u^2=2*a*s to find acceleration,
a=(v**2-v_g**2)/(2*s) # m/s**2
# Force required to stop the gun,
F=m_g*(-a) # N # here we make a +ve to find the Force
# Time required to stop the gun, using v=u+a*t:
t=(-v_g)/(-a)  # seconds # we take -a to consider +ve value of acceleration
# Results
print('The recoil velocity of gun is %d m/s'%v_g)
print('The Force required to stop the gun is %f N'%F)

# Velocity of man is given by, v_m=(-v_r)+v_b
# Final momentum of the man and the boat=m_m*v_m+m_b*v_b. From this eq'n v_b is given as
v_b=(m_m*v_r)/(m_m+m_b) # m/s # this is the absolute velocity of the boat
# Time taken by man to move to the other end of the boat is,
t=s/v_r # seconds
# The distance travelled by the boat in the same time is,
s_b=v_b*t # m to right from O
# Results
