Three particles are arranged in the `xy` plane, each a distance of  0.410 m from the origin. Particle 1 with a mass 63.1 kg is located on the +y-axis. Particle 2 with a mass of 38.7 kg is located in the direction 35.1° below the +x-axis. Particle 3 with a mass of 46.1 kg is located in the direction 15.6° to the left of the `-`y-axis.

a) What is the x-component of the contribution to the gravitational field at the origin from particle 1?

b) What is the y-component of the contribution to the gravitational field at the origin from particle 1?
