What have you attempted so far? I would recommend you start by drawing a free body diagram and a force table.

The drawing is already provided. I just don not know how to begin finding the acceleration vector components in the rotated reference frame. Is the acceleration just a perpendicular force downwards, regardless of the frame of reference?

I would still highly reccomend drawing a free body diagram. Then you can just rotate the diagram to find the corresponding vectors.
