A body A weighting `P_(1)` descends down inclined plane D fixed of a wedge which makes an angle `alpha` with the horizontal, and pulls a load B that weights `P_(2)` by means of a weightless and inextensible thread passing over a fixed smooth pulley C, as shown in fig. 2E.11. Determine the horizontal compouent of the force (in Newton) which the wedge acts on the floor corner E.
