1. Let S be a noninertial frame rotating with constant angular velocity Ω

relative to the inertial frame S0 . Let both frame have the same origin
(i.e. O = O0 ).
a) Find the Lagrangian L = T − V in terms of the coordinates r and
ṙ of S. Remember that you must first evaluate T in the inertial frame.
In this connection, recall that v0 = v + Ω × r.
b) Show that the equations of motion are mr̈ = F + 2mṙ × Ω + m(Ω ×
r) × Ω.

2. A bead slides without friction on a horizontal rigid wire rotating at

constant angular speed ω. Find the force exerted on the bead by the
wire. Neglect gravity.

3. A pendulum is rigidly fixed to an axle held by two supports so that

it can swing only in a plane perpendicular to the axle. The pendulum
consists of a mass M attached to a massless rod of length L. The
supports are mounted on a platform that rotates with constant angular
velocity Ω. Find the pendulum’s frequency assuming that the amplitude
is small.

4. On a certain planet, which is perfectly spherically symmetric, the free

fall acceleration has magnitude g = g0 at the north pole and g = λg0
at the equator (0 ≤ λ ≤ 1). Find g(θ), the free fall acceleration at
colatitude θ as a function of θ.
