A sphere rests between a smooth wall and a smooth wedge of mass M whose inclination to he horizontal is a 60 Mass of sphere is m and its radius is R The wedge initially touches he right wall The vertical side of the wedge is connected to the side wall with the help pring of force constant k n mg R where n is a positive constant Find the minimum value of n for which the sphere may still remain aloft the horizontal surface even if the spring is et go in the position shown and spring is initially compressed Neglect friction Also find he normal reaction between the sphere and the right side vertical wall in critical case
