A 5 kg particle experiences only two forces: A 361 N force in a direction 33 degrees S of W, and a 150 N force in a direction 36 degrees E of N.  Calculate the component of the particle's acceleration along the E-W direction, in m/s2, and taking E to be the positive direction.  Note that your answer might be positive or negative. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
