4a Suppose you're on a sailboat that is departing the harbor. Due to the tight confines of the harbor exit channel, you're using an electric motor for propulsion and traveling due east with no course deviations. You would like to estimate the force provided by the propeller of the motor yacht ahead of you, which has just exited the channel and is accelerating out into open water. You know the approximate mass of the motor yacht and use a optical accelerometer to measure the yacht's acceleration relative to yourself. You can use Newton's second law to calculate the force of the motor yacht's propeller using your measurement of the motor yacht's acceleration and the yacht's mass as data input. True False

Suppose you're considering a new design for a manual eggbeater blade. One goal for the new design is for the momentum of the mass of raw egg in the 2 cubic centimeter volume adjacent to the blade to increase at a certain rate with an easily sustainable mixing effort from the cook. You could apply Euler's Law to relate the time rate of change of momentum of raw egg mass to the force resultant provided by the mixing blade - despite the fact that raw egg mass is not a rigid body.
