[QUOTE="gcharles_42, post: 4541847, member: 490775"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A particle of mass m = 10 kg moves in space under the action of a conservative force. Its potential energy is given by PE = 2xyz + 3z2 + 4yx + 16 where PE is in Joules and x, y, and z are in meters. Calculate the x-, y-, and z-components of the force on the particle when it is at the position x = 18 m, y = 13 m, and z = 19 m. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] F= - d/dx (PE) [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] So far I took the partial derivatives in terms of x, y, and z but I don't know how to incorporate the object's weight. I feel like the weight is important since they mentioned it. [/QUOTE]
