Two forces act on a 16-kg object. the first force has a magnitude of 68 N and is directed 24° north of east. the second force is 32 N, 48° north of west. what is the acceleration of the object resulting from the application of these two forces to the object?

Acceleration   Direction

(a) 1.6 m/s²     5.5° north of east

(b) 1.9 m/s²     18° north of east

(c) 2.4 m/s²      34° north of east

(d) 3.6 m/s²      5.5° north of east

(e) 4.1 m/s²      52° north of east
