Answer

Sine and Cosine

Explanation

For the vertical and the horizontal forces the component is zero. If the only the horizontal and the vertical forces are given and you want to find the force at a given angle, you calculate the component forces.

To find the component forces you apply the trigonometric functions sine and cosine.
