Answer:
Fy = 17.21 N
Explanation:
In order to do this, we can actually go and do a drawn of this.
Picture 1, has the drawn and the angle.
According to that, the angle of 55° is to the vertical, so, the angle to the horizontal wpould be 35°.
To calculate the component of "y" we should use the following trigonometric expression:
cos55° = Fy/F
Solving for Fy:
Fy = F cos55°
Replacing we have:
Fy = 30 cos 55°
Fy = 17.21 N
