Rotating Frame of Reference and Coriolis Force Let the coordinates of any point P are $(x,y,z)$ and unit vectors are $(\hat{i},\hat{j},\hat{k})$ along the axes of the stationary reference frame S. The position vector of point P is $$ \overrightarrow{OP}=\vec r =\hat{i}x+\hat{j}y+\hat{k}z \tag{1} $$ Fig. (2.1): Rotating reference frame R If another reference frame R which is initially at $t=0$ coincident with the frame S, is rotating with an angular velocity $\vec{\omega}$ in such a way that origins of both reference frames remain coincident. After $t$ seconds all the axes of frame R will be inclined by an angle $$ \theta=\omega t $$ with the respective axes of frame S. In this state if the coordinates of the same point P are $(x',y',z')$ and unit vectors are $(\hat{i}',\hat{j}',\hat{k}')$ along the axes of the rotating reference frame R, then the position vector of point P is $$ \overrightarrow{OP}=\vec r' =\hat{i}...
