A block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. An xy coordinate is located
system on the substrate so that the block sits mass center (CM) is in the origin.

From time t = 0, 3 forces then act on the block:
F1 = 10 i − 5 j, F2 = −10i + 5 j and F3 = 4 j.

Find the net force vector (resultant / resultant force) that acts on the block.
What direction does the block's acceleration vector a? Justify the answer briefly.
