    Understanding Centripetal and Centrifugal Force on a Rotating Platform

    It doesn't have anything to do with the rotation of the Earth?

    Understanding Centripetal and Centrifugal Force on a Rotating Platform

    Are you saying that the force should be just as strong clockwise as counter clockwise?

    Understanding Centripetal and Centrifugal Force on a Rotating Platform

    Do you think that you would spin faster clockwise because when the axis is tilted so that the left hand is up, the wheel would be spinning in the same direction as the Earth's rotation and the inertia or centrifugal force would push in the opposite direction?

    Understanding Centripetal and Centrifugal Force on a Rotating Platform

    Homework Statement If you are in the Northern Hemisphere and you stand on a rotating platform holding a spinning wheel and you tilt the axis so that your left hand is up and the right hand is down, why do you spin clockwise faster than the opposite way?(Right hand up?) It seems like since in...
