The above free body diagram, the forces are acting on a 4.70 kg
object. The x-axis is tilted up from the horizontal by
39.5 degrees. The magnitudes of the three forces are given
by:
Force F1: 77.0 N
Force F2: 74.0 N
Force F3: 66.0 N.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object?

The image that is referred in the problem is given as:
Now, let us consider, the original coordinate system as XY axes shown in the following figure.
As we can see, F2 is along -Y direction, where as the other two forces, F1, F3 are making angle with X, Y axes. So, let us find out the respective X, Y components of those forces to sum over to get the resultant force direction and magnitude.
So, the net force acting on the object of mass 4.7kg is,
Hence, the magnitude of acceleration is,
