AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the effects of Coriolis and centrifugal forces on a stone falling from a tower on Earth. The user seeks clarification on how to incorporate Earth's radius when considering centrifugal acceleration, which is typically neglected due to its small magnitude. They express confusion about the relationship between the centrifugal force and the choice of the rotating reference frame, questioning if both systems should share the same origin for accurate calculations. The user also notes a successful attempt at formatting equations in LaTeX, indicating progress in their understanding of the problem. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities of applying rotational dynamics to real-world scenarios.

Homework Statement


A stone falls from a tower on some latitude on earth, like in the picture. how far from the base and in which direction will it fall.
We take into account the Coriolis force, but neglect the centrifugal acceleration since it's small.
The problem is solved in a book, but i want to know if and how we take in consideration the Earth's radius if i want to take into account the centrifugal acceleration also.

Homework Equations


The "F" notation is for the fixed coordinate system and "R" for the rotating one.
\vec{a}_R=\vec{a}_F-2\vec{\omega}\times\vec{V}_R-\vec{\omega}\times\left(\vec{\omega}\times \vec{r} \right)

The Attempt at a Solution


\vec{r}=x\hat{x}+y\hat{y}+z\hat{z}
According to this notating we don't have the radius of the earth.
Also the teacher said that we search for the centrifugal force on a rotating object that is itself in a rotating frame, so, according to the relative acceleration formulas:
\vec{a}_1=\omega^2\left(\vec{R}_e+\vec{r}_1 \right)
\vec{a}_{2}=\omega^2\left(\vec{R}_e+\vec{r}_2 \right)
\vec{a}_{12}=\vec{a}_2-\vec{a}_1=\omega^2\left(\vec{r}_2-\vec{r}_1 \right)
And the Earth's radius is limited.
But i don't think so, since the centrifugal force on the stone is according to the Earth's radius.
And, tell me if i am wrong, the centrifugal (and also coriolis) forces are dependent, according to this calculation, on the choice of the rotating system's base, the nearer to the center of the Earth the stronger the forces, but the force on the stone is one.
Shouldn't i have chosen both, the rotating and the fixed systems to share the same origin? is it possible to solve such questions with different origins?
I don't know what is wrong, i cannot write those 3 equations as tex, can anyone tell me why?

The last sentence should be erased, i succeeded to write the equations in Tex
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
