    Reaction using Castiglano's method.

    I'm a bit lost. I began by the cuts but then got lost: should I introduce the reactions like Ra when writing the equations? And about the force P I should introduce, should it be equal to Rc or Vc? If anyone could give me the proper plan on how to solve this problem I will be thankful. Thank you.

    Free body diagram - Weight and normal reaction

    Let's consider a stationary ball lying on the floor. The weight of the ball acts downwards and the normal reaction acts upwards. They are of the same magnitude but not of the same type. So normal reaction is the reaction to what, if not weight ?
