It sounds as though the two people are standing in front of the boat on opposite sides of it, so that they both make an angle of 30.0° with the axis of the boat, as in the attached free body diagram (ignoring the force of buoyancy and the weight of the boat).
By Newton's second law, the net vertical force is
∑ <em>F</em> = <em>P</em>₁ sin(60.0°) + <em>P</em>₂ sin(120.0°) - <em>R</em> = 0
where upward is positive and downward is negative, and the right side is 0 because the boat moves with constant velocity and thus zero acceleration.
We're told that <em>P</em>₁ = <em>P</em>₂ = 600 N, and we know sin(60°) = sin(120°), so the above reduces to
<em>R</em> = 2 <em>P</em> sin(60.0°) = 2 (600 N) sin(60.0°) ≈ 1040 N

Firstly, to find speed you need to remember the speed formula:
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
You can do it by doing 2800 ÷ 2 but that gives m/h (metres per hour)
So to convert hours into seconds, you multiply 2 by 7200 (amount of second in 2 hours:
2 * 7200 = 14400 seconds
Now we can do distance ÷ time by plugging the values in:
2800 ÷ 14400 = ≈0.194
