Answer:
2.23 m/s²
Explanation:
mass of sail boat, m = 20600 kg
Force along east, F1 = 17700 N
Force along north west, F2 = 60000 N
write the forces in vector form
Net force acting on the boat
The magnitude of net force is given by
F = 45922 N
Acceleration = force / mass
a = 45922 / 20600
a = 2.23 m/s²
The answer is (C) Diagram 3
