A 300-kg boat is sailing 17.0° north of east at a speed of 1.60 m/s. 35.0 s later, it is sailing 37.0° north of east at a speed of 4.00 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 32.2-N force directed 17.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 24.1-N force directed 17.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and F (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the force F. Express the direction as an angle with respect to due east.

A cargo is being pulled by two sailboats, both having equal magnitude of forces. The first sailboat is at a direction of 320 N of E while the other one is at a direction of 320 S of E. The cargo being pulled is moving eastward and the resultant of the two sailboats is 5.60N. What is the magnitude of each pull by a sailboat?
Two crates of fruit are released from the top of a ramp inclined at 30 degrees from the horizontal and 4.5 meter long. The two crates consist of an apple crate of mass 20 kg that is placed in front of a watermelon crate of mass 80 kg. The apple crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.20 while the watermelon crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. How long does it take the apple crate to reach the bottom of the incline if it needs to travel a distance of 4.5 meters?

An SUV containing 5 passengers has a mass of 3500 kg. It has a driving force of 2500 N directed west on a perfectly horizontal road. The surface of the road exerts a resistive force of 500 N due east. At the same time, a strong wind is blowing a force of 500 N due east in the opposite direction of the car's drive force. Does the car have any acceleration? If yes, then what is the magnitude and direction of the car's acceleration?
