Question
Three forces:
F1 = 4.5 N (Newtons) directed East
F2 = 18.0 N (Newtons) directed North
F3 = 18.0 N (Newtons) directed West
are acting on a 2.0 kg object. Find the object's acceleration.

F = √((18-4.5)^2 + 18^2) = 22.5 N
a = F/m = 11.25 m/s^2
in the direction NθW where tanθ = 13.5/18
a = F/m = 11.25 m/s^2
in the direction NθW where tanθ = 13.5/18
