Hey guys, I reading over Taylor's Classical Mechanics book. Chapter 9, Centrifugal Acceleration Section.
In p.346 he mentions that for a free fall acceleration:
g = g_0 + Ω^2 * Rsinθ ρ
Where its radial component would be:
g_rad = g_0 - Ω^2 * Rsinθ^2
I am just confused in the derivation, I am unsure of how he got there.
