A smooth thin hoop of mass m hangs from the wall on one nail (A) and rests on the other (B). The radius drawn to nail A from the center of the hoop forms an angle α\alpha with the vertical. The radius drawn to the nail B forms an angle β\beta with the vertical. Find out how much force the hoop exerts on each nail.
