Problem 35
Ramp Angle Billy and Timmy are using a ramp to load furniture into a truck. While rolling a 250 -pound piano up the ramp, they discover that the truck is too full of other furniture for the piano to fit. Timmy holds the piano in place on the ramp while Billy repositions other items to make room for it in the truck. If the angle of inclination of the ramp is \(20^{\circ}\), how many pounds of force must Timmy exert to hold the piano in position?
