Answer:

Fx = 121.24lb

F = 140lb

Explanation:

Since we are not given the angles subtended by the force, we can assume it to be 30 degrees.

The y component of the force expressed by the formula:

Fy = Fsintheta

Given the y-component of the force F to bee 70lb

70lb =  Fsintheta

Get magnitude of the force

F = 70/sin theta

F = 70/sin 30

F = 70/0.5

F = 140lb

Get the x-component of the force

Fx = Fcos theta

Fx = 140cos 30

Fx = 140(0.8660)

Fx = 1,212.4lb

Hence the  x-component of the force sis 121.24lb

Note that the angle used was assumed. Other values can as well be used
