A 53.4 kg astronaut is on a space walk away from the shuttle when their tether line breaks. They are able to throw their 11.4 kg oxygen tank away from the shuttle with a speed of 10.2 m/s to pro- pel themselves back to the shuttle. Assuming that they start from rest (rela- tive to the shuttle), determine the maximum distance they can be from the craft when their line breaks and still return within 50.2 s (the amount of time they can hold their breath). Answer in units of m.
