Homework Statement



i'm feeling that i didn't quite catch the whole concept of inertial forces very well , and I'm looking for an additional source for mechanics problems .
so far i have been learning and solving problems for "an introduction to mechanics" by danniel kleppner , which is btw is an awsome book , but i need some more.
i have stumbled this particular question:
A river flows from the north to the south in the northern hemisphere at the latitude http://physweb.bgu.ac.il/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?%20%5Ctheta. The flow velocity is
mimetex.gif
and the river width is
mimetex.gif
. What is the difference of the water level at the western and eastern coasts ? (Hint: the ratio between the height difference and the width of the river is equal to the ratio between accelerations in the corresponding directions.)

i don't need any help to solve it, but roughly this is the level of the questions i am looking for.
so if anyone could point me to the source of this problem , i will be very grateful :)
