If the force F is resolved into horizontal and vertical components, the horizontal component is f cosθ and the vertical component is f sin θ, where f is magnitude of the force.
Explanation:
If a telephone pole is supported by a stay wire which exerts a pull of 890 N on the top of the pole and the angle between the wire and the pole is 50°.
Its horizontal component is f cosθ which is 890 * 0.642 = 572 N
Its vertical component is f sinθ which is 890 * 0.766 = 681 N
