1. When viewed from from above, there are two forces acting on a sailboat as shown in the figure. Fsail is the result of the wind on the sail of the boat and is 3,500 N, directed 550 east of north. Fkeel is the result of the water on the boat and is 2,000 N, directed directly west. There are no other forces acting on the boat when viewed from above. If the mass of the boat is 433 kg, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the boat? Note that the acceleration of the boat is not necessarily in the direction the boat is pointing. 550 sail 200ON 133 x 350ON Fkeel Is 2 N 43 3 kg W- S
