Only two forces act on an object (mass=3.19 kg), as in the drawing. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to the x axis) of the acceleration of the object.

No drawing. Cannot copy and paste here.

To find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration, we need to understand the forces acting on the object. However, the drawing you mentioned is not visible to me as an AI text-based model. Nevertheless, I can guide you on how to approach and solve the problem.

Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the object
Identify the two forces acting on the object. You can provide me with the information or describe the forces, and I can assist you further.

Step 2: Set up the equations using Newton's second law
Newton's second law states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically, it is expressed as F_net = m * a, where F_net is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

Step 3: Calculate the net force
Using the identified forces, determine the net force by summing up the forces acting in the x-axis direction and the forces acting in the y-axis direction separately. For example, if there are forces F1 and F2 acting in the x-axis, the net force in the x-direction would be F_net_x = F1 + F2.

Step 4: Solve for the acceleration
Once you have the net force, you can solve for the acceleration by rearranging Newton's second law equation as follows: a = F_net / m. Substitute the calculated net force and the mass of the object into this equation to find the acceleration.

Step 5: Calculate the magnitude and direction
To determine the magnitude of the acceleration, take the absolute value of the calculated acceleration. The direction of the acceleration can be obtained by considering the coordinates of the force vector(s) and using trigonometry to find the angle relative to the x-axis.

If you can provide more details about the forces acting on the object, I can help you through the calculations based on the specific information.
