Homework Statement
Resolve F2 into components along the u and v axes and determine the magnitudes of these components. Note that the magnitudes are positive numbers.

The Attempt at a Solution
I correctly calculated 150cos(150)N or 130N as the positive magnitude for F2 along the U axis however I cannot figure out what it is along the V axis.
I tried 150sin(150)N or 75N at first and got it wrong. Then I realized that the axis are not orthogonal so I corrected for that and got 150cos(75)N or 38.8N but that is also counted as wrong.
I am mildly annoyed since this is basic stuff so I am assuming I am just missing something obvious. Thanks for any help.
