A stick with a mass of 0.214 kg and a length of 0.436 m rests in contact with a bowling ball and a rough floor, as shown in FIGURE 11-48. The bowling ball has a diameter of 21.6 cm, and the angle the stick makes with the horizontal is 30.0°. You may assume there is no friction between the stick and the bowling ball, though friction with the floor must be taken into account.

(a) Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the stick by the bowling ball.

(b) Find the horizontal component of the force exerted on the stick by the floor.

(c) Repeat part (b) for the vertical component of the force.
