Question 1

What does the Coriolis component of acceleration depend on?

  • Only the angular velocity
  • Only the relative velocity
  • Both angular and relative velocity

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the formula you learned about!

Question 2

True or False: The Coriolis effect is ignored in most mechanical systems.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about when we need to consider this component.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a machine with a rotating arm, the arm's angular velocity is 4 rad/s. A point on the edge of the arm slides with a relative velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the Coriolis acceleration and discuss how this could affect the machine's operation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula carefully and think about the implications of high acceleration in the design.

Question 2

A slotted arm mechanism operates at an angular velocity of 5 rad/s. If a slider on this arm suddenly increases its relative velocity to 5 m/s, calculate the Coriolis component and theorize how this change might impact performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure you use the formula for acceleration correctly and consider the mechanical consequences.
