Coriolis Force

Coriolis Force

•    A benchtop base unit supporting a rotating arm on which a transparent water tank and counterbalance are mounted.
•    The jet of water is observed to deflect when the arm rotates.
•    The water tank houses a submersible pump which produces a jet of water.
•    Dials and a digital display on the base unit allow students to adjust the speed and direction of rotation, as well as the pump rate.
•    The deflection is due to the Coriolis force, a fictitious force which appears to act on objects moving within a frame of reference that is rotating.
