We can alter Eqs. 11-14 and 11-15 for use on Earth

Chapter 11, Problem 11.62

(choose chapter or problem)

We can alter Eqs. 11-14 and 11-15 for use on Earth byconsidering only the component of v perpendicular to theaxis of rotation. From Fig. 11-43, we see that this is v cos Afor a vertically falling object, where A is the latitude of theplace on the Earth. If a lead ball is dropped verticallyfrom a 110-m-high tower in Florence,Italy (latitude = 44), how far fromthe base of the towerit deflected by the Coriolisforce?FIGURE 11-43 62.
