The sine is not the right trigonometric function...
The right function will give a similar, but not the same result.

alright i did 12.5tan7.5 = 1.6457 kg m/s
Yes (Good catch mfb.) But you need all three items in the answer: the direction, the numerical magnitude and the units. If you omit any of those it could be marked wrong.
 
alright thanks a lot guy I apologize for the inconvenience I'm doing this course all online and no one to help or teach it to me so it's not the greatest thing.

Thanks again
