Shuru karne se pehle, ek shared picture jo har problem mein kaam aati hai.

Do tools jo hum baar baar apply karte rahenge (dono parent note mein banaye gaye hain):
Level 1 — Recognition
L1.1
Ek book spinning turntable par rest mein baithi hai. Turntable ke frame mein uس par kaun se fictitious force(s) act karte hain: centrifugal, Coriolis, dono, ya koi nahi?
Recall Solution
Sirf Centrifugal. Coriolis hai. Book rotating frame mein rest mein hai, isliye , aur ke saath koi bhi cross product hota hai → koi Coriolis nahi. Centrifugal hai, jo sirf position par depend karta hai, motion par nahi. Jab tak hai, book ek outward centrifugal force feel karti hai → centrifugal act karta hai.
L1.2
Dono fictitious forces mein se kaun work kar sakta hai (rotating frame mein object ki speed change kar sakta hai)?
Recall Solution
Sirf centrifugal work kar sakta hai. Coriolis hamesha ke perpendicular hota hai (yeh cross product mein baked in hai). Velocity ke perpendicular force se milta hai → zero work; yeh sirf path ko turn karta hai. Centrifugal radially outward point karta hai, isliye agar aap radially move karo toh uski motion ke saath component hoti hai → yeh kar sakta hai work.
Level 2 — Application
L2.1
mass ka ek bachcha par ek merry-go-round par baitha hai jo se spin kar raha hai. Usse feel hone wali centrifugal force nikalo.
Recall Solution
Position-only formula: Yeh real inward (centripetal) grip ki size bhi hai jo seat ko use circling mein rakhne ke liye supply karni padegi.
L2.2
Usi merry-go-round par (), bachcha (ab kg lo) mass ka ek puck seedha outward par apne frame mein slide karta hai. Coriolis force ka magnitude aur spin ke relative uski direction nikalo.
Recall Solution
Radial-outward velocity: . ke saath: Cylindrical rule (counter-clockwise tangential direction) use karte hue: Magnitude , direction mein point karta hai — yaani spin direction ke opposite. Outward jaata puck spin ke against backward push hota hai, isliye uski path curve ho jaati hai.
Level 3 — Analysis
L3.1
Ek turntable ka hai (upar se counter-clockwise). Ek bug radius par direction mein speed se counter-clockwise walk karta hai. Coriolis force ki direction nikalo. Kya yeh bug ko axis ki taraf push karta hai ya door?

Recall Solution
Velocity tangential hai: . Cylindrical coordinates mein . Toh Direction: , radially outward → Coriolis force bug ko axis se door push karta hai jab yeh spin ke saath chalta hai. (Spin ke against chalna flip kar deta aur inward push karta.)
L3.2
, , wale lab turntable par centrifugal aur Coriolis force magnitudes ka ratio compare karo. Yahan kaun dominate karta hai?
Recall Solution
Kyunki , Coriolis (thoda sa) bada hai yahan. Comparison vs tak reduce ho jaata hai: jab bhi aapki speed rim speed ke relative badi ho, Coriolis jeetta hai.
Level 4 — Synthesis
L4.1
mass ka ek puck se spinning turntable ki axis se radius par inertial (ground) frame mein rest mein baitha hai. Isse rotating frame mein analyse karo: wahan uski velocity kya hai, aur dikhao ki net fictitious force exactly balance ho jaati hai taaki rider ko dikhne wala correct circular motion ho.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — rotating frame mein velocity. Puck ground frame mein fixed hai, lekin frame uske neeche se spin karta hai. Frame ke relative yeh rim ke saath backward travel karta hai: m/s. Speed m/s.
Step 2 — centrifugal force (outward).
Step 3 — Coriolis force. ke saath:
Step 4 — net fictitious force. Interpretation: rotating frame mein puck radius ke circle mein speed se ghoomta hai, isliye use centripetal (inward) force N chahiye. Fictitious forces exactly woh N inward supply karte hain. Consistent hai — bookkeeping kaam karti hai. ✓
L4.2
Earth par (), mass ki ek train latitude N par due north se chalti hai. Horizontal Coriolis force nikalo. Yeh kaun si rail press karti hai?
Recall Solution
Latitude par horizontal motion ke liye, Earth ke spin ka sirf vertical component , horizontal Coriolis deflection produce karta hai. Horizontal Coriolis magnitude hai: Direction: Northern Hemisphere mein, horizontal motion travel ke right mein deflect hoti hai. North face karte hue, right east hai → train apni east (right) rail press karti hai. (Coriolis Effect in Weather aur Foucault Pendulum logic ke saath consistent: N. hemisphere mein sab kuch right veer karta hai.)
Level 5 — Mastery
L5.1
Ek bead frictionlessly outward ek straight radial rod ke saath slide karta hai jo constant se spinning turntable par fixed hai. Jis instant yeh par pass karta hai, uski outward speed hai (rod ke relative). Mass kg. Rotating frame mein nikalo (a) centrifugal force, (b) Coriolis force, aur (c) batao ki rod kaun sa real force supply karta hai.
Recall Solution
(a) Centrifugal (outward, rod ke saath, ): Yahi hai jo bead ko rotating frame mein frictionless rod ke saath outward accelerate karta hai.
(b) Coriolis. Velocity radial outward hai: .
(c) Rod se real force. Rod rigid aur frictionless hai: yeh apni length ke saath () push nahi kar sakta, sirf sideways (). Bead ko straight rod par rakhne ke liye yeh sideways Coriolis push cancel karna padega. Isliye rod direction mein ka normal contact force supply karta hai (dono frames mein real force). Outward centrifugal N unopposed reh jaata hai → bead outward accelerate karta hai, exactly jaisa observe hota hai.
L5.2
Foucault-style estimate. Ek pendulum latitude par swing karta hai. Uska swing plane Coriolis ki wajah se rate se slowly rotate karta hai. Precession rate degrees per hour mein aur plane ke ek full turn ka time nikalo.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — precession rate.
Step 2 — degrees per hour mein convert karo. s/hr aur deg/rad se multiply karo:
Step 3 — ek full plane rotation ka period (): Toh latitude par Foucault pendulum ka plane ek turn complete karne mein lagbhag 34 ghante leta hai (yeh exactly 24 h sirf poles par hota hai, jahan ). Yeh exactly wahi mechanism hai jo Foucault Pendulum mein hai.
Recall Self-check summary (sab try karne ke baad reveal karo)
Kaun sa force position-only hai? ::: Centrifugal, — outward, jab bhi ho present rehta hai. Kaun sa force velocity-only hai aur koi work nahi karta? ::: Coriolis, — motion ke perpendicular. Equator par horizontal Coriolis kyon vanish ho jaata hai? ::: Sirf horizontal motion ko deflect karta hai; par, . N. hemisphere mein, moving objects kis taraf veer karte hain? ::: Right.
