16 A particle moves under the action of two forces, \(\mathbf { F } _ { 1 }\) and \(\mathbf { F } _ { 2 }\) It is given that $$\begin{aligned} & \mathbf { F } _ { 1 } = ( 1.6 \mathbf { i } - 5 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N }
& \mathbf { F } _ { 2 } = ( k \mathbf { i } + 5 k \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N } \end{aligned}$$ where \(k\) is a constant.
The acceleration of the particle is \(( 3.2 \mathbf { i } + 12 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 2 }\)
Find \(k\)
