We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
(1)
where
the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object
The mass of the ball in this problem is m=1 kg. Two forces are applied, in opposite directions, of 20 N and 12 N, therefore the resultant of the forces is
Therefore, we can rearrange eq.(1) and use these data to find the acceleration of the ball:

Answer:
a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b) t =7.41 m/s
c)D= 66.70 m
Explanation:
Given that
Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s
Velocity of river = 9 m/s
a)The resultant velocity V
V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b)
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
Lets t time takes to cross the river
136 = 18.35 x t
t =7.41 m/s
c)
The distance covered downstream
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
t= 7.41 s
D= 7.41 x 9 m
D= 66.70 m
