The ball of weight W is held in place as shown in the left figure by the inclined surface and the compressed spring. The FBD of the ball is shown in the right figure.
Determine the force exerted by the spring on the ball, and the force exerted by the inclined surface on the ball in terms of the weight, W, of the ball.
How would this problem be solved?
I have the FBD, I'm just unsure of the first step!
