What is the Coriolis Principle? To some of us the Coriolis Principle is an exact science, but to most of us it is still a black art. Well, imagine a fluid flowing (at velocity V) in a rotating elastic tube as shown below. The fluid will deflect the tube. Further, consider a Mass M moving from the center to the edge of a rotating plate.
This Mass M will take path B as shown below If the massRead More…
