A boat has a mass of 6800 kg. its engines generate a drive force of 4100 n, due west, while the wind exerts a force of 830 n, du

e east, and the water exerts a resistive force of 1200 n due east. what is the magnitude and direction of the boat's acceleration?

 Let positive be west and negative be east because they are contrasting in directions.

 
The forces are 4100, -830, and -1200

 
The sum of the forces is 4100 – 830 – 1200 = 2070 N. 

Newton’s law F = ma is used. 
2070 = 6800 a 

Isolating a will give us 2070 / 6800 = a

a = 0.34 m/s^2

Answer:

 N = 23.4 N

Explanation:

After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question

The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis

            N - w₁ -w₂ =

            N = m₁ g + m₂ g

            N = g (m₁ + m₂)

let's calculate

            N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)

            N = 23.4 N

This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.
