ANSWER:

Step 1 of  2

Here we have to find the components of the velocity vector.

The diagram is given as,

                                           

The x axis makes an angle of  with the horizontal line.

So, by a little use of geometry we can deduce that, the vector V makes an angle of   with the -ve y axis.

So, the angle vector V makes with x axis will be,

                                             

                                                 .
