First determine the net force. Let's say the downwards force is negative and the upwards force is positive.
Since the forces act in opposite directions, the net force would be:
400N - 600N = -200N

Since I said negative is downwards, this translates to the net force being 200N downwards.

Force = mass*acceleration
200N = 60kg * acceleration
acceleration = 3.33 m/s^2

Answer:

• When getting x-intercept, your vertical axis or y-axis must have it's callibration and demarcation starting from zero.

Explanation:

As well as when getting y-intercept, your horizontal axis or x-axis must have it's callibration and demarcation starting from zero.
