    Vector algebra uses dot products to calculate the component of a force vector along a given direction and the angle between the force vector and the direction. For a given force F acting from point B to D with magnitude Fm, the component of F along the line AC (FAC) can be calculated, as well as the angle θ between F and AC. An example on page 25 of the module demonstrates this process.
