"I was expecting to have to convince her to go, but she was acquiescent, and she said 'yes' as soon as I mentioned the it."
"He didn't really want to go, but he was acquiescent, and went without arguing."
It's not a word that is commonly used in daily speech. Most Americans aren't going to know what it means. I have never heard anyone say it, and I've only heard "acquiesce" used once - and that was from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie in a scene where the character was trying to use complicated and uncommon speech ("I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. That means 'no'.")
