Two identical uniform frictionless spheres, each of weight W, rest as shown in Fig. at the bottom of a fixed, rectangular container. The line of centers of the spheres makes an angle 0 with the horizontal. Find the forces exerted on the spheres (a) by the container bottom, (b) by the container sides, and (c) by one another

Therefore, the reaction force from the bottom of the container is 2W .
(b) The sphere at the top is in vertical equilibrium, therefore
