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 thrust force on the squid?

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

Part C: What acceleration is experienced by the water?

I need help to solve the above question and express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
