It provides the main resistance to the sideways forces of the sail.

The tilt partly compensates for the sideways forces in a turn.

When a person walks, lifting and dropping each foot in turn, he or she produces a slight sideways force.

On turns, the sideways forces are twice the pull of gravity.

The sideways force comes from the stitches instead.

The sideways forces push more water into some regions of the oceans, and take it away from others.

The opposite motion of the pendulums would cancel out any sideways forces on the support.

All sideways forces on the cylinder cancel out, and are therefore ignorable.

The sideways force applied by the driving gear causes more pressure and friction on one side of the hole.

The arch provides a foundation for the walls and can resist the sideways forces upon them.
