.

(A)  F%5Bhorizontal%5D = F*cos(a) = 30 * cos(30°) = 30%2A%28sqrt%283%29%2F2%29 = 25.98 N.

     F%5Bvertical%5D   = F*sin(a) = 30 * sin(30°) = 30%2A%281%2F2%29 = 15 N.




(B)  V%5Bhorizontal%5D = V*cos(a) = 50 * cos(60°) = 50%2A%281%2F2%29 = 15 m/s.

     V%5Bvertical%5D   = V*sin(a) = 50 * sin(60°) = 50%2A%28sqrt%283%29%2F2%29 = 43.30 m/s.
