Consider the free-body diagram. Based on the net forces illustrated here, what can you say about the acceleration of the object?

The object is accelerating in an upward direction.

The object is accelerating down.

The acceleration equals 0.

The object is moving at a constant speed.

The force which is acting on the right side of the object gets cancelled out by the force acting on the left side. Net force on the horizontal line = (100N - 100N) = 0 N.

The force acting in the downward direction is more than the force acting on the upward direction. Net force on the vertical line = (720N - 600N) = 120N

We know that,

The object moves in the direction of the net force and here, the net force is acting in the downward direction.

And, F = ma

Acceleration will be in the direction of the force only. Hence, the object will be accelerating in the downward direction.
