Absolute angular momentum at A =
Absolute angular momentum at B
UA *
(radius at A) = UB * (radius at B)
UA *
(Earth’s Radius * Cos(latitude at A) = UB * (Earth’s Radius * Cos(latitude at B)
UA = UB * [ cos(latitude at B) / cos(latitude at A)
]
UA > UB
č A northward motion starting at A will arrive to the east of B due
to the
conservation of angular momentum
čAn apparent force
(Coriolis Force) = f V, where f = 2*W*Sin(lat)
