Find the force vector F on an object of mass m the uniform gravitational field when it is at height z = 0. The +z direction is up. Express vector force in terms of m, z. g. and k, where k is the unit vector in the +z direction. To create the k character: In the equation editor window, select "More", then select "Vectors", and you will find what you need. To write out a vector: for example, if the answer has both x and y components, you would answer in the format Fi + Fj F(z) = -mgk Now find the gravitational potential energy U(z) of the object when it is at an arbitrary height z.
