Can I read The Coriolis Effect on EtoBox?
The Coriolis Effect by Wylie, Paul E. is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
What is The Coriolis Effect about?
The coriolis effect is a change in the motion of a body passing over the surface of the Earth due to the motion of the Earth itself. The effect may be manifested either as a horizontal acceleration, or, in the absence of the acceleration, as a deflection of the course. The acceleration, which appears in controlled courses such as those of aircraft, usually appears and is significant as a deflection of the vertical. This acceleration appears whenever a body, such as an aircraft, is forced to follow a great circle path over the Earth. The deflection of the course of a moving body appears alternatively whenever the body moves freely in its inertial path above the surface of the moving Earth.
Who reads The Coriolis Effect?
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
