Answer:
1) Wind pushing the ship towards east.
2) Resistance of water trying to stop the boat, but the magnitude of wind is greater. Direction of water resistance is towards west, i.e., opposite to wind force direction.
3) Gravitational force, which also tries to stop the boat. Direction is towards the center of the earth.
