A man is pulling on a rope with a force of 72 N directed at an angle of 55◦ to the horizontal. What is the x-component of this force? Answer in units of N. What is the y-component of this force? Answer in units of N.

Have your trig functions handy.

The horizontal x-component is 72 cos55
The vertical y-component is 72 sin55

The units will be N(ewtons), since the magnitude 72 is already in Newtons.
