s=f=g  lets call mg=w  scos θ+Nsin θ+mg=R=(g/μ)  g+ssin θ=Ncos θ  F=g  R+f = 2mg  Nsin θ+scos θ+f=mg  −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−  ⇒   gcos θ+((g(1+sin θ)sin θ+w)/(cos θ))=(g/μ)  (g/μ)+g=2w    ⇒   (w/g)=(1/2)(1+(1/μ))  ((g(1+sin θ)sin θ)/(cos θ))+gcos θ+g=w  ⇒   (1/2)(1+(1/μ))=((1/μ)−cos θ)cos θ                                     −sin θ(1+sin θ)                  = 1+cos θ+((sin θ)/(cos θ))(1+sin θ)  ⇒  (1/μ)(cos θ−(1/2))=sin θ+(3/2)  ⇒  (1/2)(1+((3+2sin θ)/(2cos θ−1)))=1+((1+sin θ)/(cos θ))  ⇒  2cos θ−1=cos θ  ⇒     cos θ=1  ⇒    y=0.
