Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the man is 93 kg, and the mass of the woman is 55 kg. The woman pushes on the man with a force of 51 N due east. Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of (a) the man and (b) the woman.
