I would like some guidance on how to setup this problem.
The solution for part (a) comes down to deriving the x and y components of the vector. If the woman is pulling on the suitcase with a force of 32.5N (which I believe is the hypotenuse of my right triangle) deriving just one of the x/y components allows me to use the inverse sine/cosine functions (or inverse tangent if both are found) to get the angle.
Which equation should I be using to derive the components?
