precalculus: force and vectors

[dragongirl]

A force of 623 lbs. is required to pull a boat up a ramp inclined at 22.0 degrees with the horizontal. How much does the boat weigh?

I can draw the diagram, but after that I'm lost.

What is the component of the force along the ramp?

What is the component of the weight along the ramp?

Assuming friction is negligible (since the question does not bring that up) - equate the above two expressions and calculate the magnitude of "Weight".
