F=MA....but the F needs to be broken up into vectors to find combination of the forces.

This is a simple one...rather than type it all out, page 1 of this document explains it very well an includes images: http://www.mash.dept.shef.ac.uk/Resources/em15forceasvector.pdf

calculate resultant force first,,that will be whole root of 15 squre plus 20 square  in newton,that gained value should be divided by mass 5kg,thats it
