A force of 73.8 newtons is applied to a travel bag at an angle of 39.0 degrees with the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the force?

Question

This can be represented as follows:
|dw:1368190351548:dw|
where $f_x$ is the horizontal component of the force and $f_y$ is the vertical component of the force.

You should be able to use the standard trigonometric functions to calculate these forces.

Please let me know if you require any further guidance.
