Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the formula for the Coriolis acceleration?

  • $a_{cor} = \\boldsymbol{\\omega} \\times v_{rel}$
  • $a_{cor} = 2 \\boldsymbol{\\omega} v_{rel}$
  • $a_{cor} = 0.5 \\boldsymbol{\\omega} v_{rel}$

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for the equation derived from combining sliding and rotation.

Question 2

True or False: The Coriolis component is always directed parallel to the sliding motion.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the definition of the directionality of the Coriolis effect.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A slotted arm mechanism is rotating at an angular speed of 10 rad/s. A point on the link slides with a relative speed of 4 m/s. Calculate the Coriolis component acting on the point.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to use the correct multiplication.

Question 2

In a robotic arm with a crank system, if the angular velocity changes, describe how this affects the Coriolis component concerning a point sliding along the arm.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how rapid changes in one part of the system affect the rest.
