Unit 2 motion Q?

Cases and Mandeep go bobsledding. Figure A ( which shows a bobsled stationery on an arbitrary point at an incline of 30 degrees). The total mass is 350kg.

For this situation calculate the magnitude of the support force of the slope on the bobsled?

The answer is 2970N, how is this so?
Many thanks.

Support force is the normal reaction force by the slope on the bobsled. If you resolve the weight force, the normal force=350g*cos(30)=2970, g=9.8m/s^2 (triangle where the weight force is the hypotenuse)
