Q.4 A body A weighing P, descends down an inclined plane D which makes an angle a with the horizontal and pulls a load B that weighs Pz by means of a weightless and inextensible string passing over a pulley C as shown in figure. Determine the horizontal component of the pressure with which the inclined plane Dacts on the floor rib E.
