The device is used for surgical replacement of the knee joint .If the force acting along the leg is 360N determine its component along the x' and y axes...
Diagram of a knee joint with a prosthetic implant showing rotated x' and y' axes tilted 10 degrees from the x and y axes, a 60 degree angle marked, and a 360 N force arrow along the leg.

please tell me how to solve...thanks

Do you know the formula for the component of a force F along an axis at angle theta to the direction of F?
