Answer : The acceleration of an object is
$2.62\ m/s^2$

Explanation :

Given that,

Mass of an object, m = 42.6 kg

Applied unbalanced force, F = 112 N

Newton's second law gives the relation between the applied force and the acceleration produced by it. Mathematically, it can be written as :

F=ma

a=(F)/(m)

$a=(112\ N)/(42.6\ kg)$

$a=2.62\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.
