Compute all parts of given question:

Question: Squid use jet propulsion for rapid escapes. A squid pulls water into its body and then rapidly ejects the water backward to propel itself forward. A 1.5kg squid (not including water mass) can accelerate at 20 m/s2 by ejecting 0.15kg of water.

Part A: What is the magnitude of the force on the water being ejected?

Part B: What acceleration is experienced by the water?

I need help to determine the magnitude of the force on the water being ejected.
