ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

To solve for , solve the horizontal component  and vertical component  by summing up the components of  and  The components can be solved by first getting their corresponding angles with respect to the axis.

The angle of force  with respect to the negative -axis is  that came from subtracting  and  from the angle between negative -axis and negative -axis which is .

The angle of force  with respect to the positive -axis is  that came from subtracting the angle between positive -axis and negative -axis which is  from the  angle.
