A boat has a mass of 6.43 x 10³ kg. Its
engines generate a drive force of 4.5 x
103 N due west, while the wind exerts a
force of 9.4 x 10² N due east and the
water exerts a resistive force of 1.6 x 103
N due east. What is the magnitude of the
boat's acceleration?
The figure shows a man sitting in a bosun's chair that dangles from a massless rope, which runs over a massless, frictionless pulley and

rope if he is to rise (a) with a constant velocity and (b) with an upward acceleration of 1.40 m/s?? (Hint: A free-body diagram can really
