which calculation should i use??@_@

Homework Statement


a 1.4 kg bottle of milk is lying horizontally in the rack. the two surfaces on which the bottle rest r 900 apart, and the right surface makes an angle of 450 with the respect to the ground. each surface exerts a force on the bottle that is perpedicular to the surface. determine the magnitude of each of these forces
* the bottle is lying 90 degree vertically


Homework Equations



f=ma?
w=mg?
or should i find the resultant force by using cos and sine


The Attempt at a Solution


ive tried..but all the answer are different..

Call the force exerted by each surface on the bottle F. What other forces act on the bottle? What's the net force on the bottle? Consider vertical components.
