\end{figure} A small block of weight 18 N is held at rest on a smooth plane inclined at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal, by a force of magnitude \(P\) N. Find
  1. the value of \(P\) when the force is parallel to the plane, as in Fig. 1,
  2. the value of \(P\) when the force is horizontal, as in Fig. 2.
