Two ropes are attached to a 40 kg object. The first rope applies a force of 25N and the second rope applies 40N. If the 2 ropes are perpendicular to each other, what is the resultant acceleration?

The accelerating force of the wind on a small 200 kg sailboat is 707N northeast. If the drag of the keel is 500N acting west, what is the acceleration of the boat?

These are the two questions I got wrong on my homework and the professor doesn't have office hours this week. Thanks a million for any help guys!
