To build some of the islands in the arabian sea, massive boats suck sand from the sea floor and propel it into a massive pile (in interesting shapes). If 100 kg of sand is shot horizontally out of the boat every 2 seconds at a speed of 40 m/s, what constant force must the engines provide to keep the boat in place?
