HW3 #11 typo

A student correctly pointed out that the units given for HW3, #11 part (b) are incorrect: the units should be m/s2, and not N, since this part of the problem is asking for acceleration. So go ahead and calculate the acceleration and enter that in the answer box even with the incorrect units shown.
