![sin θ =((R−r)/(R+r)) , f_g =f and f=f_w considering zero torque on both spheres individually about their centres. f_g =N_w considering net horizontal force on system consisting of both spheres. so f_g =f_w =f=N_w eq.(A) (do keep in mind ) net horizontal force on system f_w +N_g =(M+m)g ⇒ f+N_g = (M+m)g ....(i) ΣF_x =0 for smaller sphere N_w +fcos θ=Nsin θ ⇒ f(1+cos θ)=Nsin θ ....(ii) ΣF_y =0 , so f_w +Ncos θ+fsin θ=mg ⇒ f(1+sin θ)+Ncos θ =mg ...(iii) ΣF_x =0 for larger sphere fcos θ+f_g = Nsin θ ⇒ f(1+cos θ) =Nsin θ [same as (i)] ΣF_y =0 , so fsin θ+Mg+Ncos θ = N_g Torque about corner of ground and wall gives: MgR+mgr+N_w [R+(R+r)cos θ] = N_g R .....(iv) we have unknowns f, m, N, N_g and eq.s (i) to (iv) using (ii) in (iii): N[((sin θ(1+sin θ))/(1+cos θ))+cos θ]=mg ⇒ N=((mg(1+cos 𝛉))/(1+cos 𝛉+sin 𝛉)) f = ((mgsin 𝛉)/(1+cos 𝛉+sin 𝛉)) =N_w N_g = (M+m)g−f using these in (iv): MgR+mgr+f[R+(R+r)cos θ] =(M+m)gR−fR ⇒ mgr+f[2R+(R+r)cos θ]−mgR =Mg(R−r) ((mgsin θ[2R+(R+r)cos θ])/(1+sin θcos θ))−mg(R−r) =Mg(R−r) m=((M(R−r))/([((sin θ[2R+(R+r)cos θ])/(1+sin θcos θ)) − (R−r)])) .](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q29057.png)
