Answer:

Fx = 467.65N

Fy = 270N

Explanation:

Given

Force = 540N

angle of inclination = 40 degree

Horizontal component Fx = Fcos 30

Fx = 540cos30

Fx = 540(0.8660)

Fx = 467.65N

Hence the horizontal component is 467.65N

Vertical component Fy = Fsin 30

Fy = 540sin30

Fy = 540(0.5)

Fy = 270N

Hence the vertical component is 270N
