assume μ=friction on ground a sin α+b sin β=h ⇒sin α=((h−b sin β)/a) ⇒cos α=((√(a^2 −(h−b sin β)^2 ))/a) f=μN N b cos β=Mg ((b cos β)/2)+f b sin β ⇒(1−μ tan β)N=((Mg)/2) N (b cos β−a cos α)+mg((a cos α)/2)=Mg (((b cos β)/2)−a cos α)+fh 2N(b cos β−a cos α−μh)=Mgb cos β−(2M+m)ga cos α ((Mg)/(1−μ tan β))(b cos β−a cos α−μh)=Mgb cos β−(2M+m)ga cos α (1/(1−μ tan β))(b cos β−a cos α−μh)=b cos β−(2+(m/M))a cos α ((b cos β−μh)/(1−μ tan β))=b cos β−(2+(m/M)−(1/(1−μ tan β)))a cos α ⇒((μ(h−b sin β))/(1−μ tan β))=(2+(m/M)−(1/(1−μ tan β)))(√(a^2 −(h−b sin β)^2 )) ⇒β=.... ⇒N=((Mg)/(2(1−μ tan β)))
