When two perpendicular forces 9.0 N (toward positive x) and 7.0 N (toward positive y) act on a body of mass 6.0 kg, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the acceleration of the body ?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Forces
The two forces acting on the body are:
- \( F_1 = 9.0 \, \text{N} \) (toward positive x-axis)
- \( F_2 = 7.0 \, \text{N} \) (toward positive y-axis)

### Step 2: Calculate the Resultant Force
