What diagram have you drawn for the spheres and theta and ...?

just this


The hint was in the previous post about considering the line joining the two centres. It should be similar to the angle/triangle you want. So put a bit more work (lines/info) into your sketch

I got 16.1 for the question but it says it's incorrect.
The question is like this:
https://isaacphysics.org/questions/two_spheres?board=b212f0eb-bab0-477a-ad0f-dd5471f67b58&stage=a_level
two spheres with radii 8r and 4r, mass 4mg and mg and in contact with a force 2mg applying at the top of the big sphere. the system is in equilibrium. the first question asks the normal reaction on the ground to the big sphere. I resolved all the forces and got 16.1 for several times.... but it's wrong :frown: could anyone help with me pleasessss!
Thanks so much!


Bro How to proceed to Part B plss iam struggling a lot

If you have done Part A, you have 4 equations for 4 unknown forces. But you would have solved for N and F_r
For Part B, you need to know how is G and J related.

We would close this old thread soon, so if you still have a problem, start a new thread and explain what you have tried and what problem you are facing.
