You need to learn how to find the components of a vector. If you have some vector with magnitude F that makes an angle [itex]\theta[/itex] with the x-axis (the horizontal), the components are:
- vertical (y) component = [itex]F \sin\theta[/itex]
- horizontal (x) component = [itex]F \cos\theta[/itex]
