A 2000-kg sailboat experiences an eastward force of 3000 N by the ocean tide and a wind force against its sails of magnitude 6000 N directed toward the northwest (45 N of W). What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant acceleration?

Question 2

A high-diver of mass 70.0 kg jumps off a board 10.0 m above the water. If, two seconds after entering the water, his downward motion is stopped, what average upward force did the water exert on him?
