Small blocks \(A\) and \(B\) are held at rest on a smooth plane inclined at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. Each is held in equilibrium by a force of magnitude 18 N . The force on \(A\) acts upwards parallel to a line of greatest slope of the plane, and the force on \(B\) acts horizontally in the vertical plane containing a line of greatest slope (see diagram). Find the weight of \(A\) and the weight of \(B\).
