Answer:
2.23 m/s²
Step-by-step 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
