Actually I am running out of time.
How much time does it take to resolve a vector into two components, one horizontal and the other vertical?

I have done this but not getting answer.

Well tell us what you get for the two components of the acceleration.

I do not see that you gave the horizontal and vertical components of the force F=mgsin(37). Recall that force is parallel with the incline, so makes 37°angle with the horizontal.
