Newton's 2nd Law stipulates that "the sum of all forces acting on an object are equal to the mass times the acceleration of that object." Given the force diagram below, calculate the acceleration of the object (both magnitude and direction). The object is the smiley face, which has a mass of 18.2 kg (it's a very heavy smiley face). FPush = 42.0 N Fg = Weight
