3. CORIOLIS FORCE
• Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis, (born May 21, 1792, Paris—died
September 19, 1843, Paris), French engineer and
mathematician who first described the Coriolis force, an effect
of motion on a rotating body .
4. DEFINITION
“ Coriolis Force is an fictitious force(pseudo force) that acts on
objects that are in motion relative to rotating reference frame.
Deflection of an object due to the Coriolis force is called the
Coriolis effect. It is caused by rotation of rotating body.
5. Calculation of Coriolis force and centrifugal
force
Let us consider two sets of coordinate axis, one of them is fixed (inertial
frame of reference) as S(x,y,z) and other is rotating (non inertial frame of
reference) as S’(x’, y’,z’) rotating with angular velocity 𝜔 about an axis
passes through common origin O. The position vector of a particle at point
P with respect to frame S is given as ;
𝑟 = 𝑥𝑖 + 𝑦𝑗 + 𝑧𝑘……………………………..(1)
The position vector of same particle at point P with respect to S’ frame is
given as ;
𝑟 = 𝑥′𝑖′ + 𝑦′𝑗′ + 𝑧′𝑘′ ……………………...(*2)
Differentiate both side of equation with respect to ‘t’ :
ⅆ𝑟
ⅆ𝑡
= 𝑖′ ⅆ𝑥′
ⅆ𝑡
+ 𝑥′ ⅆ𝑖′
ⅆ𝑡
+ 𝑗′ ⅆ𝑦′
ⅆ𝑡
+ 𝑦′ ⅆ𝑗′
ⅆ𝑡
+ 𝑘′ ⅆ𝑧′
ⅆ𝑡
+ 𝑧′ ⅆ𝑘′
ⅆ𝑡
10. CORIOLIS FORCE (EFFECTS)
It is a apparent force .
Due to rotation of the coordinate system ( Earth) .
It makes a moving object deflect from a straight line
even in the absence of any forces acting on it .
11. CORIOLIS EFFECT ON EARTH
• The Coriolis effect, which is a result of Earth's rotation, causes
moving particles such a air to be deflected to the right in the
Northern Hemisphere and to the left in Southern Hemisphere.
12. APPLICATION
It is taken into account to compute accurately trajectories of
long range projectiles and missile.
It is C.F. that produces counterclockwise circulation in northern
hemishpere which effect course of winds.
The spinning motion of the earth is that which causes the
equatotial bulge.
