Answer:

See below!

Explanation:

Given data:

Force = F = 50 N

Angle = θ = 38.8°

Required:

Horizontal and vertical components of force = ?

Formula:

[tex]F_x=Fcos \theta\\\\F_y=Fsin \theta[/tex]

Solution:

Horizontal component of force:

[tex]F_x=(50)cos38.8\\\\F_x=(50)(0.77)\\\\F_x\approx 38.9[/tex]

Vertical component of force:

[tex]F_y=(50)sin(38.8)\\\\F_y=(50)(0.62)\\\\F_y\approx 31.3\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
