    For a motorboat:

    F m = m · a = 960 kg · 2.1 m/s² = 2208 N

    Propeller provides trust force F p = 4.1 kN = 4100 N

    We have to find drag force exerted by the water on the boat.

    F = 4100 N - 2208 N = 1892 N = 1.9 kN (with 2 significant figures)

    Answer: 1.9 kN

    m = 960 kg a = 2.3 m/s^2 F = ma = 960 x 2.3 = 2208 N Thrust force = Fa + Fd Drag Force Fd = 4100 - 2208 = 1892 N
