Answer:
The drag force is [tex]D = 40.15 \ N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass is [tex]m = 450.0 \ kg[/tex]
The acceleration [tex]a = 0.133 m/s^2[/tex]
The force due to the motor is [tex]F_m = 100 \ N[/tex]
Generally the net force acting on the boat is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = m * a[/tex]
=> [tex]F = 450.0 * 0.1330[/tex]
=> [tex]F = 59.85 \ N[/tex]
Generally the drag force acting on the boat is mathematically represented as
[tex]D = F_m -F[/tex]
=> [tex]D = 100 - 59.85[/tex]
=> [tex]D = 40.15 \ N[/tex]
