The vertical component of the force is 187.5 N and the horizontal component of the force is 324.8 N.
A vector is a any quantity that has both magnitude and direction. We can resolve any vector into its vertical and horizontal components. The vertical component of a vector such as force is F sin θ while the horizontal component of the force is F cos θ.
Given the following information from the question;
F = 375 N
θ = 30.0°
Vertical component(Fy) = 375 N sin 30.0° = 187.5 N
Horizontal component (Fx) = 375 N cos 30.0° = 324.8 N

Horizontal component = 241 N
Vertical component = 287 N
Explanation:
Given:
Force = F = 375 N
Referring to diagram attached, the force F is making an angle
theta = 20+30 = 50 with the horizontal.
Horizontal component = F*cos(theta) = 375*0.64278 = 241 N
Vertical component = F*sin(theta) = 375*0.76604 = 287 N
