Given the following forces acting on an object find the net force:
2.0N[N], 10N[S], 2.0N[W], 8.0N[E]

The mass is 5.1 kg with the net force find the objects acceleration

Vectorially add 8 N [S] and 6 N [E]
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the resultant is 10 Newtons, in a direction between S and E. The direction can be obtained from the tangent of the angle.
(tan^-1 4/3 S of E)

How do i find the acceleration though

F=ma
you have the force and the mass. What's left to do?
