In this problem take the angles from the +x-axis. Three tugboats are pushing on a 810 kg boat when it suddenly breaks free from a sandbar. The first boat pushes with a force of 522 N in a direction of 37 degrees. The second boat pushes with a force of 1210 N in a direction of 118 degrees. The third boat pushes with a force of 494 N in a direction of 315 degrees. What are the x and y components of the acceleration of the boat when it starts moving?
