$A$ spherical ball of mass $m=5\,kg$ rests between two planes which make angles of $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ respectively with the horizontal. The system is in equilibrium. Find the normal forces exerted on the ball by each of the planes. The planes are smooth.

  • A

  • B
    $N_{45}=136.6\,N, N_{30}=96.59\,N$
  • C
    $N_{45}=96.59\,N, N_{30}=136.6\,N$
  • D
