Answer

$(a)\space 322\space N$ $(b)\space 209\space N$ $(c)\space 279\space N$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. As shown in the left side figure, the force $F$ can be first resolved into two components $F_{Z},F_{P}$ We can get, $F_{P}=Fsin54^{\circ}=(475\space N)sin54^{\circ}=384\space N$ Then $F_{P}$ can be resolved into x, y components by projection onto x,y plane. (a) From the right side figure, $F_{X}=F_{P}cos33^{\circ}=(384\space N)\times0.84=322\space N$ (b) From the right side figure, $F_{Y}=F_{P}sin33^{\circ}=(384\space N)\times0.54=209\space N$ (c) From the left side figure, $F_{Z}=Fcos54^{\circ}=(475\space N)\times0.6=279\space N$
