Advice

a)

The component of force in the $x$ -direction can be found using $\cos\theta \times F$ . Remember to set your calculator to use degrees and not radians.

$\begin{align} \text{component in the }x \text{-direction } & = F \cos \theta \\ & = \var{force} \times \cos \var{angle} \\ & = \var{precround(force*cos(radians(angle)),3)}\end{align}$

b)

This time we are using sin

$\begin{align} \text{component in the y-direction } & = F \sin \theta \\ & = \var{force} \times \sin \var{angle} \\ & = \var{precround(force*sin(radians(angle)),3)}\end{align}$

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
