SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding additional resources for mechanics problems, specifically related to inertial forces. The user has been studying "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Daniel Kleppner and seeks more challenging problems similar to a specific question about water level differences in a river influenced by inertial forces. A recommended resource is the MIT OpenCourseWare course "Engineering Dynamics" from Fall 2011, which provides in-depth lectures and problem sets that can enhance understanding of rotational mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of inertial forces in mechanics
  • Familiarity with basic physics concepts from high school level
  • Knowledge of rotational mechanics
  • Ability to solve physics problems involving fluid dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore additional problem sets in "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Daniel Kleppner
  • Review the MIT OpenCourseWare course "Engineering Dynamics" for comprehensive lectures
  • Study fluid dynamics principles relevant to river flow and water level differences
  • Practice solving advanced mechanics problems to solidify understanding of inertial forces
USEFUL FOR

High school students, physics enthusiasts, and educators seeking to deepen their understanding of mechanics and inertial forces through practical problem-solving resources.

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 :)
