homework and exercises - Understanding weight on an inclined plane


I'm trying to solve a problem where I have an object resting on an inclined plane, with the angle of the plan being alpha, and the weight being w. I'm having trouble figuring out how I can calculate the component of the weight parallel to the plane. I also want to find out the weight component perpendicular to the plane.


I don't want an outright answer, more of an explanation to help me understand. Thanks!
