Relative Motion Analysis – Rotating Frame (2D)

Example R1
• At the instant  = 60o, the rod has an angular velocity of 3 rad/s and an angular
acceleration of 2 rad/s2. At this instant, the collar C is travelling outward along the rod
such that when x= 0.2 m, the velocity is 2 m/s and the acceleration is 3 m/s 2, both
measured relative to the rod. Determine the Coriolis acceleration and the velocity and
acceleration of the collar at this instant.

velocity of OD is  = 2 rad/s clockwise and is constant for the interval of motion
concerned. For the position where  = 45o with AC horizontal, determine the velocity of

Coriolis Acceleration = 2 X Vrel

• Represent the difference between acceleration


measured from nonrotating axes and rotating axes.

• Composed of two physical effects;


• Change in direction of Vrel
• Change in magnitude of x

• Direction of coriolis acceleration is perpendicular to


both  & Vrel.

Coriolis Motion
• What?
• Coriolis effect occurs in non-inertial reference frame. (e.g. Rotating & accelerating frame)
• Coriolis effect causes deflection of path in opposite direction of rotation in rotating frame
• It behaves like a real force - causes acceleration. Coriolis force is a consequence of inertia.
Straight motion will curve sideways in opposite direction of rotation of rotating frame.

• Why bother to analyse coriolis effect?


• So that we can use Newton Second Law by including the coriolis force (i.e. Fictitious/pseudo
force/inertial force”

Treat the fictitious forces like real forces, and pretend you are in an inertial frame.
— Louis N. Hand, Janet D. Finch Analytical Mechanics, p. 267

Obviously, a rotating frame of reference is a case of a non-inertial frame. Thus the particle in addition to
the real force is acted upon by a fictitious force...The particle will move according to Newton's second
law of motion if the total force acting on it is taken as the sum of the real and fictitious forces.
