A boat has a mass of 5680 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 3380 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 990 N due east and the water exerts a resistive force of 1310 N due east. Take west to be the positive direction. What is the boat's acceleration, with correct sign?

As the west is the positive direction, we don't need to care about the force in South and North direction. So the overall force is(990-1310)N = -320 N. And acceleration is Force/Mass = -320N/ 5680 Kg. Too lazy to calculate it, and remmeber the unit of anser is M/sec^2
