Explanation / Answer

X-component of force:
(Fx) = -U/x
(Fx) = -2(5.50)x
(Fx) = -11.0x

x-component of acceleration:
m(ax) = -11.0 x
(0.0400 kg)(ax) = -11.0*(0.28 m)
(ax) = -77 m/s²

y-component of force:
(Fy) = -U/y
(Fy) = 3*(3.55)y²
(Fy) = 10.65y²

y-component of acceleration:
m(ay) = 10.65y²
(0.0400 kg)(ay) = 10.65(0.55 m)²
(ay) = 80.5 m/s²


tan = (ay)/(ax)
tan = (80.5)/(-77)
= tan^-1 ((80.5)/(-77) )
= 180 - 46.27
= 133.7 o Counter Clock Wise from the +ve X axis.
