Aboat has a mass of 6800 kg. its engines generate a drive force of 3300 n, due west, while the wind exerts a force of 920 n, due east, and the water exerts a resistive force of 1200 n due east. what is the magnitude and direction of the boat's acceleration?

Refer to the figure below, which shows a plan view of the boat.

Let a  =  acceleration of the boat, due west.
Then
(3300 - 910 - 1200 N) = (6800 kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 1190/6800 = 0.175 m/s²

0.175 m/s², due west.

“other instruments such as gravimeters and magnetometers are also used in the search for petroleum. extracting crude oil normally starts with drilling wells into an underground reservoir. when an oil well has been tapped, a geologist (known on the rig as the "mudlogger") will note its presence. “ this is what i found on google i hope it
