Persons A and B are standing on the opposite sides of a 3.5 m wide water stream that they wish to cross. Each one of them has a rigid wooden plank whose mass can be neglected. However, each plank is only slightly longer than, 3 m. So, they decide to arrange them together as shown in the figure schematically. With B (the mass 17 kg ) standing, the maximum mass of A, who can walk over the plank is close to,
