In a tug-of-war between 13 students and five parents, the 13 students (with an average mass of 50 kg each) pull westward on a rope with an average force of 150 N per student. The five parents (with an average mass of 80 kg each) pull eastward on the other end of the rope with an average force of 475 N per parent. Assuming that the whole mass accelerates together as a single entity, what is the acceleration of the system?
