Bobby and Ricky are using a ramp to load furniture into a truck. While rolling a 200-pound piano up the ramp, they discover that the truck is too full with other furniture for the piano to fit. Ricky holds the piano in place on the ramp while Bobby repositions other items to make room for it in the truck. If the angle of inclination of the ramp is 25°, how many pounds of force must Ricky exert to hold the piano in position?
