A woman at an airport is pulling her 24.0 kg by a strap at an angle of 22 ° above the horizontal as shown in figure Fig. P5.44. She pulls on the strap with a 45.0 N force, and friction is negligible.
How would you find acceleration in this problem, there doesn't seem to be enough info but I know there is.
I calculated this
Fx = 41.72
Fy = 18.86

Well... how do you relate force and acceleration...
 
thank you, I just needed that little hint
