a stone is allowed to fall under gravity from the top of a tower hundred metre high at a latitude 30degree North calculate the coriolis force
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Example: Deflection of a Falling Object
If we drop an object from height \bgroup\color{black}$ h$\egroup, the effect of the centrifugal force is already in the local value and local direction of \bgroup\color{black}$ g$\egroup. The Coriolis force is not included and it is proportional to velocity so it will not affect the direction of plumb bobs. The Coriolis force will cause a deflection from a vertical path as the object falls. Lets call the \bgroup\color{black}$ z$\egroup direction the local upward vertical. We need to pick two directions perpendicular to that to form a coordinate system. We can choose the \bgroup\color{black}$ y$\egroup direction be be north and then we must choose east to be in the \bgroup\color{black}$ x$\egroup direction to have a right handed coordinate system.
