    Calculating the Z Component of a Force: Solving for the Unknown Vector Component

    This stuff is all very new and confusing to me but I think I got the the right answer for Fz = 100cos30 = 86.6 and I'm really not sure how I got to this or 41.4 for Fx... Could someone explain it maybe? sorry for the inconvenience, its just kinda frustrating that I can't figure this out (been...
