An iron sphere weighing $10 \, N$ rests in a $V$-shaped smooth trough whose sides form an angle of $60^o$ as shown in the figure. Then the reaction forces are:

  • A
    $R_A = 10 \, N$ and $R_B = 0$ in case $(i)$
  • B
    $R_A = 10 \, N$ and $R_B = 10 \, N$ in case $(ii)$
  • C
    $R_A = \frac{20}{\sqrt{3}} \, N$ and $R_B = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \, N$ in case $(iii)$
  • D
    All of the above
