A sailboat is moving at a constant velocity due north, asdepicted in the figure. The water exerts a drag force on the boat,where the magnitude of
F is 400 N and 𝜃 = 41.0°.
An overheadview of a sailboat on a body of water. A compass rosette is drawnsuch that North points towards the top of the page. Three arrowsare shown to extend from the center of the sailboat.
(a)
If +x is east and +y is north, findthe magnitudes of n and p.(Give your answers in N.)
n= _______N
p=_______ N
(b)
If +x is 𝜃 = 41.0° north ofeast and +y is 𝜃 = 41.0° west ofnorth, find the magnitudes of n and p.(Give your answers in N.)
n=________ N
p= ________N
