BOULDERS A 10,000-pound boulder sits on a mountain at an incline of 60°. Ignoring the force of friction, what force is required to keep the boulder from rolling down the mountain?

The weight of the boulder is the force exerted due to gravity, F = 0, –10,000. To find the force –w1

required to keep the boulder from rolling down the mountain, project F onto a unit vector v in the direction of the side of the mountain.

Use a Vector Projection to Find a Force

Step 1 Find a unit vector v in the direction of the mountain.

Use a Vector Projection to Find a Force

v = |v| (cos θ), |v| (sin θ)Component form of v in terms of |v| and θ

Use a Vector Projection to Find a Force

Step 2 Find w1, the projection of F onto unit vector v, projvF.

= 1(cos 60°), 1(sin 60°) or |v| = 1 and

θ = 60°

Since v is a unit vector, |v| = 1. Simplify.

Projection of F onto v

Answer: about 8660.3 lb

Use a Vector Projection to Find a Force

F = 0, –10,000

and v =

The force required is –w1 = –(8660.3v) or 8660.3v. Since v is a unit vector, this means that this force has a magnitude of about 8660.3 pounds and is in the direction of the side of the mountain.

Find the dot product.

Calculate Work

MOWING A person pushes a reel mower with a constant force of 40 newtons at a constant angle of 45°. Find the work done in joules moving the mower 12 meters.

Calculate Work

Method 1 Use the projection formula for work.

The magnitude of the projection of F onto is

|F| cos θ = 40 cos 45°. The magnitude of , the

directed distance, is 12.

W = Projection formula for work

= (40 cos 45°)(12) Substitution or about 339.4

Calculate Work

Answer: about 339.4 joules

Method 2 Use the dot product formula for work.

The component form of the force vector F in terms of magnitude and direction angle given is 40 cos (–45°), 40 sin (–45°). The component form of the directed distance the mower is moved is 12, 0.

W = F ● Dot product formula for work= 40 cos (–45°), 40 sin (–45°) ● 12, 0Substitution

= [40 cos (–45°)](12) or about 339.4Dot product
