If the boat is going upstream against a current that has a force of 250 N against the motion of the boat, find the acceleration of the boat if there is a forward force of 360 N from the fan. (Remember that the mass of the boat is 220 kg.)

Question

As seen in the picture, an airboat is a special type of boat
that has a large fan mounted on the back instead of a motor
that sits in the water. It is used in places where the water is
shallow and weedy, so motors that stick down into the water
cannot be used.

If the boat is going upstream against a current that has a force of 250 N against the
motion of the boat, find the acceleration of the boat if there is a forward force of 360 N from
the fan. (Remember that the mass of the boat is 220 kg.)
