Two forces FA and FB are applied to an object whose mass is 10.2 kg. The larger force is FA. When both forces point due east, the object's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.483 m/s². However, when FA points due east and FB points due west, the acceleration is 0.389 m/s², due east. Find (a) the magnitude of FA and (b) the magnitude of FB. (a) Number (b) Number i i Units Units
