    By analysis of the problem and drawing a mental figure, we can solve this by using trigonometric functions. It is safe to say that the tension in the rope is the hypotenuse. So to find for the x-component:

    cos 33 = x/290

    x = 290 * cos 33

    x = 243.21 units

    Therefore, the x-component of tension is equal to 243.21 units
