Monkey D. Luffy is sailing together with his crew, the “Straw Hat Pirates” in the West Philippine Sea. The wind is quite strong and is exerting a 400N force on their sailboat “Thousand Sunny” directed to the south. The waves are also exerting a force of 208N westward. If Thousand Sunny has a mass of 300 kg (including the crew and their luggages), what is the magnitude and direction of its acceleration?
