Let us approach this interesting question step by step, hope this will encourage you to actively tackle all your doubts :)
Assuming that athletes A and B are in the same boat.
- Calculate total mass M = 70+75+20 = 165 kg.
- Calculate the total force F = 400 N + 420 N - 380 N = 440 N (-380 N because it is the force by which the water resists or tries to stop the motion of the boat)
- Apply the above values in the formula F= MA to calculate the acceleration of the given boat.
Hope this was helpful :)
