Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} puck on a frictionless horizontal surface experiences two simultaneous constant forces: 3.0 N3.0\,\text{N} directed east and 4.0 N4.0\,\text{N} directed north. Determine the direction of the puck’s acceleration relative to due east. Give your answer as an angle measured counter-clockwise from east.
