$\alpha$ is small $\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}_{1}<\mu \mathrm{N}_{1}$

                       $\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}_{2}<\mu \mathrm{N}_{2}$

$\mathrm{f}_{1}+\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{mg}}{2}$            $\mathrm{N}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{mg}}{2} \mathrm{cos} \alpha$

$\mathrm{f}_{2}=\mathrm{R}+\frac{\mathrm{mg}}{2} \quad \mathrm{N}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{mg}}{2} \cos \alpha$

$\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}_{1}<\mathrm{f}_{2} \quad \therefore \quad \mathrm{N}_{1}=\mathrm{N}_{2}$

$\therefore \quad \sqrt{f_{1}^{2}+N_{1}^{2}}<\sqrt{f_{2}^{2}+N_{2}^{2}}$

contact force by brick in cludes friction $\&$ normal reaction both.

    In the diagram, $BAC$ is a rigid fixed rough wire and angle $BAC$ is $60^o$. $P$ and $Q$ are two identical rings of mass $m$ connected by a light elastic string of natural length $2a$ and elastic constant $\frac{mg}{a}$. If $P$ and $Q$ are in equilibrium when $PA = AQ = 3a$ then the least coefficient of friction between the ring and the wire is $\mu$. Then value of $\mu + \sqrt 3 $ is :-
